This guide to tackling the gender imbalance in technology professions offers expertise, initiatives and true stories to support those wishing to bring greater gender diversity into the workplace. It aims to inform regarding background, theory and policy; advise on concrete actions that can be undertaken, and to be an exemplar for companies, organisations, establishments and campaigns in the form of real-world case studies.
While trying to understand why despite years of talking about the inclusion of women so little has been achieved, Gillian and co-authors decided it was time to put together this practical guide.
In essence the book ‘WOMEN IN TECH’ says – Employers it’s over to you, here are the facts, here are the tools, if you genuinely want more women in tech – then this is how to do it.
We are privileged to have a fabulous group of women contribute to this ‘practical guide to increasing gender diversity and inclusion’. Gillian as editor, Hannah Dee, Clem Herman, Sharon Moore, Andrea Palmer and Shilpa Shah have been wonderfully generous in sharing their knowledge and experience in industry and education.
Positive and optimistic, these award-winning women challenge employers: ‘We know you are going to make great strides! We look forward to seeing the huge change you make by 2025.’ I truly hope so.
