Diversity in Data

Back to events
04 March 2021 12:00-12:00

During this webinar session, we took a deeper dive into what companies should be doing to address the imbalance and help companies build higher-performing teams.

It’s now widely agreed across the data and tech world that diversity, equity and inclusion can increase innovation, improve quality of work and result in higher-performing teams. Gartner (2019) forecast that 'through 2022, 75% of organizations with frontline decision-making teams reflecting a diverse and inclusive culture will exceed their financial targets, and gender-diverse and inclusive teams outperformed gender-homogeneous, less inclusive teams by 50%, on average.'


Despite this common knowledge, a huge imbalance still pervades with many demographics including gender, ethnic, disability, socio-economic, age, sexual orientation, veteran and neurodiverse groups still finding themselves hugely underrepresented in the world of data.

We believe this imbalance comes down to three key facets:
- Attraction
- Hiring
- Retention
