About 90 per cent of global businesses struggle with inclusion and diversity practices within their technology teams, while just 10 per cent implement it, according to a report released on Friday.
The report by the Capgemini Research Institute showed that only 16 per cent of women and ethnic-minority tech employees believe that they are well represented in tech teams. Only one in five employees is female, and one in six is from an ethnic-minority community in IT/tech teams.
This misalignment adds to a perpetuating Diversity Equity and Inclusion problem across industries deploying technologies for end-users as leaders believe progress is being made, but tech employees on the ground remain pessimistic about the reality, the report said.
The report also showed that organisations with diverse and inclusive tech teams are four times more likely to create inclusive products. Thus, it recommended organisations to build an effective inclusion strategy, beyond upping education and awareness at the highest levels. Organisations need to deploy various processes, policies and value systems that champion inclusion, it suggested.
