Listen "Improving Gender Equity In the Workforce With Paula Bratcher Ratliff of Women Impact Tech"
Episode Synopsis
Are you tired of hearing that there aren't enough women in tech? Paula Brattler Ratliff from Women Impact Tech joins me to debunk this myth and discuss strategies for improving gender equity in the workplace. With only 28% of tech roles occupied by women and a measly 16% in more sophisticated technical positions, we dive into the challenges these women face, including the concerning trend of two directors of tech stepping out for every one that advances to an executive level.Together, we explore the harsh reality of women in tech, from the disproportionate impact of layoffs to the difference in job search outcomes between men and women. Paula sheds light on how the 'bro culture' in tech companies can lead to a lack of diversity in thought and the unique opportunity provided by the pandemic for women to work in more equitable virtual environments. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation as we discuss the need for tech companies to be more transparent about their hiring and gender equity efforts, and the importance of allyship in promoting change.Listen & Subscribe on your favorite platformApple | Spotify | Google | AmazonVisit us at RecruitingDaily for all of your recruiting, sourcing, and HR content.Follow on Twitter @RecruitingDaily Attend one of our #HRTX Events
