Diversity in the workplace refers to the inclusion of different genders, nationalities and other underrepresented groups in the office. Across many industries the lack of diversity is alarming and problematic, however, when it comes to diversity numbers in tech startups, the numbers are dismal.<\/p>\n

For example, our 2019 research<\/a> revealed, in a survey of 1000 UK workers, that only 1% of female jobseekers want to work in startups, compared to 8% of male jobseekers.<\/p>\n

This is reflected in Tech Nation\u2019s Diversity and Inclusion in UK Tech Companies report[1]<\/a>, which states that 77% of tech director roles are made up of men, while just 23% are women. Compared to the national average of 71% for men and 29% for women, there are clearly barriers in place that are \u00a0preventing more women from working in startups.<\/p>\n

When we look at wider underrepresented groups, the situation remains the same. According to Tech Nation, just 15% of those working in tech are from black and minority ethnic backgrounds[2]<\/a>. If you think your company lags behind and you\u2019d like to learn how to improve diversity in your startup, find our headline ideas to get started below.<\/p>\n
