I found this Forbes article on women in tech quite interesting. https://bit.ly/4bzgfMe As many know, women still face incredible challenges in this industry. The most glaring is the gender gap. Women still only account for around 25% of the entire tech workforce, and if you zoom in to look at the number of women holding leadership positions, that number drops to 11%. This reality does us all a disservice. Research points to the benefits of diverse teams, yet gender bias, limited career development opportunities, and minimal mentorship options, among other challenges, keep women from advancing in tech. Addressing the gender gap requires a thoughtful approach and multiple pathways for women to succeed. Economically, the numbers speak for themselves. #WomenInTech #WomenLeaders #IT #Technology #ITJobs #ITCareer #CareerDevelopment mega

The retention of women talent in the tech industry is crucial for them to unleash their full potential.

It is important to create an inclusive and supportive environment that encourages women to thrive and excel in the tech industry. #WomeninTech #GenderDiversity
