But while 97% of women consider technology to be key to the future success of the UK economy, according to HP\u2019s study, one in five women who didn\u2019t choose to study STEM said it was because they \u2018didn\u2019t know anything about it\u2019. What\u2019s more, a quarter of those women who didn\u2019t study STEM said it was because they didn\u2019t believe they could and nearly a third of those not in a specialist technical role believe they don\u2019t have the right qualifications \u2013 leading them to disregard a career in technology. Only a quarter of women said they associate working in the technology sector as a career with a good work-life balance, despite many firms offering significant flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>These stats suggest that negative associations or a general lack of understanding in the field begins early and then persists into adulthood \u2013 potentially helping explain the low female representation in tech workforces.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-can-we-do-to-improve-the-situation\">What can we do to improve the situation?<\/h4>\n<p>First, it\u2019s vital that every business establishes a tailored Diversity &amp; Inclusion strategy. Only by creating and implementing this will we see real change happen. Think of it like a business plan; have intent, set metrics, and you will see results. What gets measured gets done \u2013 it needs to be embedded from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>The TTC is also helping to foster this change, not least because it requires businesses that sign up to establish a \u00a0clear plan to improve inclusion. Signatories of the charter \u2013 HP was a founding one in 2017 \u2013 make several pledges in relation to their approach to recruitment and retention, as well as collaborating with other signatories to share best practice. Its ambition is to grow to 600 signatories by the end of 2020 and is open to organisations of all sizes, from start-ups to large multinationals, spanning all industry sectors, from entertainment to banking.<\/p>\n<p>However, as much as entry level initiatives are important, there also needs to be greater focus on, and support for, experienced professionals. Programmes might include reskilling opportunities for those currently employed and greater returning options for those coming back after career breaks, such as starting a family. Among TTC\u00a0signatories, 49% of companies do not have a \u2018returners\u2019 programme. \u00a0Elsewhere, HP\u2019s survey found that nearly half of women would be willing to retrain in a technical job, suggesting a huge opportunity to increase female representation through retraining and upskilling..<\/p>\n<p>The UK government also has a vital role to play in supporting the technology industry\u2019s efforts to get girls studying STEM subjects in schools, taking on digital roles and eventually having more seats at the boardroom table. One such initiative is the Digital Skills Innovation Fund which has allocated over a million pounds for people from underrepresented groups, including women, to learn digital skills.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-do-we-remain-competitive\">How do we remain competitive?<\/h4>\n<p>As the UK\u2019s outgoing secretary for Culture, Media and Sport, Baroness Nicky Morgan, said in a recent speech; technology is neither the cause nor solution to all our problems, but a tool that we can harness as we choose. Our world-leading regulatory regimes have made the UK the \u2018go to\u2019 place for science, research and innovation for decades. But we risk losing a huge amount of potential talent if women are not applying for the fantastic opportunities in our technology industry.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear there is a lack of understanding regarding what a career in technology can offer women in terms of flexibility and a broad range of job opportunities &#8211; not just in technical roles, but in dynamic fields such as marketing and sales. We need to challenge these assumptions and change the stereotypes. Striving towards gender parity in the tech workforce will help bridge the country\u2019s skills gap, drive growth and secure the UK\u2019s place as a global leader in digital innovation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Originally published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itproportal.com\/features\/its-impossible-for-us-to-flourish-as-a-digital-nation-without-workplace-gender-diversity\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"btn-container\"><a class=\"btn btn-md btn-primary\" href=\"#\">More thought leadership <i class=\"far fa-caret-right\"><\/i><wbr \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/nav>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why aren\u2019t women choosing a career in tech?
