Listen Later

In the latest episode of The Growth Cartel, we had the pleasure of speaking with Gretchen Scott, delving into the persistent challenges and systemic barriers to enhancing diversity and inclusion within the tech industry. Our conversation shed light on the critical role of diversity and inclusion, especially for women and explored the reasons behind the departure of many from the tech field, such as unequal pay and imposter syndrome.

Explore the conversations around:

  • The tech industry must prioritise diversity and inclusion to create high-performing teams and drive innovation.
  • Women leave the tech industry for various reasons, including unequal pay, imposter syndrome, and slower promotion rates.
  • Inclusive leadership is crucial for creating an environment where diverse voices are heard and valued.
  • Measuring inclusion can be challenging, but metrics such as a sense of belonging can provide insights.
  • Accelerating change requires education, clear frameworks for advancement, and addressing biases and resistance.
