"These insights illustrate that the UK tech industry has a window of opportunity to impact the choices of women in tech - from the past and present, and in the future."
"By providing opportunities for progression, flexible work and appropriate remuneration, tech leaders on the precipice of technological innovation have the chance to create impactful change on the tech workforce."
"More than 50% said they left because they didn't feel as though they belonged, 40% said it was because of a lack of gender diversity in leadership positions."
"Nearly three-quarters of women cited a lack of career progression as playing a part in their decision to leave the sector."
Research from Akamai reveals that nearly 90% of women exit their tech careers within a decade, with over half leaving within the first five years. The average tenure for women in tech in the UK is six years. Key reasons for leaving include a lack of inclusive culture, poor career progression opportunities, and insufficient flexibility. However, many women express willingness to return to tech if conditions improve, highlighting a significant opportunity for the industry to foster a more supportive environment for women.
