How can tech companies attract a more gender diverse workforce
Empiric's miX Factor event explored how businesses can attract a more diverse workforce when scaling their business. There was valuable insight from Inge Woudstra, W20 Consulting & Training, and Katherine Codlin, Speechmatics & Cambridge Women in Technology on what businesses can do to attract and retain more women. Highlights include:
- Know what the best recruitment channels to use to attract a diverse pool of candidates
- The Purple Squirel - does the perfect candidate exist?
- The need for diversity change to start at a grass roots.
Empiric is seeking to address the lack of gender diversity in the tech sector at a broader level through its Next Tech Girls
The Next Tech Girls programme helps young women find career paths into tech by connecting them with work experience placements, mentors and female exemplars – both championing women at the top as well as driving change from the first rung of the ladder upwards.
