Today, we unveiled the DisruptSW Index 2019 as The Diversity Edition, featuring the businesses and organisations which are addressing diversity challenges within the South West’s tech teams and the technology sector.
This year’s list highlights those that disrupt diversity and inclusivity challenges within tech teams, all pulling together to make changes to the way companies enable, attract, train, recruit, engage and retain tech talent.
This is the third year we are collaborating with law firm Foot Anstey as ‘DisruptSW’, to index innovative companies based in the region.
We strongly believe changes need to be made to the way businesses attract, recruit and retain diverse talent. Our mission is to reposition the tech skills gap as a massive opportunity for diversity and inclusion.
Building diverse and inclusive teams is proven to bring multiple benefits. From brand perception and increasing candidate attraction, bridging hard-to-find skill gaps, increasing staff retention and driving better business performance.
The Diversity Edition Index has been collated and curated based on nominations from key influencers and participators in the region’s tech and innovation space.
