Women in Tech

techUK is marching forward to close the tech gender gap in 2023. Throughout March, coinciding with International Women’s Day (IWD 2023) on 8 March, we are exploring how we embrace equitable workplaces. The UN’s theme for IWD 2023 focuses on Digital for All or DigitALL, and we are proud to support this.

 

techUK's Women in Tech campaign has been featured in The Guardian 

techUK's President, Sheila Flavell CBE, is as passionate as techUK for diversity and inclusion. In this article Sheila highlights the need for organisation transparency and role models to bridge the gender gap.

Blogs

We invited members to contribute to this month-long campaign with blogs as an aim to spark a discussion on actions that both government and industry need to take towards the normative and societal good of equal representation in the sector, including: supporting women returners, career switchers and progression in the industry, exploring the impact of flexible working, gender pay gaps, and the impact of automation on women.

Based on a monthly theme, every week we select and highlight one of our SME members in order to demonstrate their accomplishments. For March's SME Member of the Week, we are showcasing how SME members are supporting gender diversity in their businesses.

The techUK Podcast 

Female tech leaders in justice and policing

A really inspiring discussion with three women, from different backgrounds – some which chose this career path and others which fell into it. Their roles, enabling them to really make a difference, urging the next generation to have open conversations, to be inquisitive about differences and understand the value of a diverse workforce. The more diversity you have in any group, the more choices you have, the more opinions – so the better it will be. We need more women, both in tech and law enforcement. We also need more male allies!

'"What are the barriers to enter tech?" and "How are you supporting gender diversity in your business?" are some of the questions that we asked our stakeholders and members to reflect on.
