Compared to the overall private industry in the US employment market, the technology sector employs a larger share of men (64%) as opposed to women. Furthermore, tech employs a larger share of caucasians (68.5%) against only 14% Asian Americans, 8% Hispanics and 7.4% African Americans, according to data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Although a group of tech professionals feel included in the workplace like myself, these figures clearly reveal that the majority of people experience the polar opposite.

In this session, I'm highlighting zero-fluff, zero-BS strategies on how tech companies - with the help of DEI - can maximize their profitability, their brand image and most importantly, employee and customer satisfaction.
