HR Tech Group’s Inaugural Diversity in Tech Dashboard Survey Poised to Reshape BC Tech Industry Benchmarking
Summary
The 2020 dashboard survey results show the largest proportion of responding employers, 44%, have indicated they are currently considering adopting D&I goals. Results from the survey show that there continues to be a gender imbalance in the tech industry, with just over 30% of respondents identifying as women. Executive level jobs are overwhelmingly held by men, with 71% reporting to identify as male. “The significant lack of under-represented individuals at the executive level, calls attention for organizations to consider diversity, equity and inclusion in not only their recruitment process but also their retention and succession planning,” said Kathy Gibson, Sr. Project Manager / Consultant of the HR Tech Group D&I Tech Project. The Diversity Dashboard showcases data from a survey conducted for HR Tech Group in partnership with Mercer, from 136 organizations and 14,123 individual employees.
