Tech Talent Charter CEO Debbie Forster MBE spoke to CIO UK Editor Edward Qualtrough following the launch of the 2019 Tech Talent Charter benchmarking report during episode 13 of the CIO UK podcast.
Forster had earlier presided over the launch of the report at an event at The Gherkin in London, bringing together signatories of the initiative to share data and best practice in how they are driving inclusion and diversity in their organisations and the UK tech sector. During the CIO UK podcast Forster shared how hundreds of large companies, government departments, startups and SMEs were moving from the ‘why’ to the ‘how’ of diversity, what organisations need to do to get started, and how focusing on diversity initiatives was helping organisations tackle the IT skills gap.
