Diversity in UK Tech

While diversity in the UK tech industry has shown modest progress in recent years, substantial gaps remain. Recruitment of more diverse entry-level candidates has improved slowly, but beyond early-career roles, this momentum diminishes at mid-career and leadership levels, perpetuating a persistent “leaky pipeline.”  Structural and cultural barriers result in poor retention and promotion of under-represented people. A national study examining why people in tech voluntarily left their jobs found that underrepresented minorities were twice as likely to leave their role because of unfair treatment rather than for a better job.
