“ Diversity in tech is much talked about and
little understood. How many CTOs are women?
How many people are neurodiverse? How
big an impact does mental health have on the
workforce? The simple answer is we don’t know. Nadya Powell, Chair, BIMA Diversity & Inclusion Council Co-founder of business consultancy, Utopia
The BIMA & AppNexus Diversity Survey is the first of its kind in the UK. It’s an important step in understanding the true nature of diversity in the digital & technology sector, and the results will play a crucial role in ensuring the strategies for change adopted by our industry are based on data, not assumptions.
Naturally, the more people we can reach, the more meaningful the survey results will be.
– We are interested in responses from anyone working in technology.
– For the purposes of this survey we’re defining ‘working in technology’ as being people who are in technology delivery roles (e.g. developers, designers, project managers, data analysts, client handling, digital marketing etc.) as well as people who directly support those in technology delivery (e.g. HR, finance, administration).
– In the context of this survey we’re treating ‘digital’ and ‘technology’ as the same thing.
– Your response will of course be anonymous but you are playing a huge part in driving understanding and creating a better workplace.
– We’re asking anyone not directly involved in delivering or supporting people in the delivery of technology not to complete this survey.
We’d love you to participate and share with colleagues. It is important we get a wide-ranging response to the survey in order to understand further the diversity and experiences of people working in technology.
The BIMA Diversity Council was established to ensure we lead the charge in creating a digital industry we can feel proud of; one that is as forward thinking in the way it deals with issues of diversity and inclusion as it is with technology.
We’re working with organisations and individuals to make the digital and tech sectors places we all want to work. Find out more.
