"In those conditions, leadership inevitably narrows what they're thinking and focuses on performance, cost control and delivery, and the worry is that important subjects like DEI can slip down the agenda as a result."
"I find it disappointing. It's taken a long time for the industry to reach a point where inclusion and progression are being treated as important leadership issues, not side conversations. To see that momentum stall is frustrating."
Research from Harvey Nash indicates that 84% of tech workers feel their workplace supports diversity, yet 10% see a decline in DEI investment. Women are more likely than men to believe the sector needs to improve its efforts to support women in tech roles. Economic challenges and shifting attitudes towards DEI are contributing factors. Simon Crichton, CEO of Harvey Nash, expresses concern that DEI issues are being deprioritized in favor of performance and cost control, which could stall progress in inclusion and leadership.
