Tech is a magical industry … for most people.
For an industry that’s responsible for literally building the future,
we still have some pretty outdated thinking to address.
A Few Astounding Stats to Reflect on
- 56% of women leave the tech industry after 10 – 20 years, with the #1 cited reason being “unfair business practices”
- 37% of people in tech leave yearly due to inequity when 57% of those people would have stayed if their companies had addressed their concerns
- This amounts to a loss of $16B annually when you consider the average cost to replace a tech employee is $144,000 – and that’s low for executives, which often cost 213% of their salary!
- Only 20% of teams in tech work to their full potential
