HR Tech Group today announced the release of their 2021 Diversity in Tech Dashboard, one of several initiatives stemming from the organization’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Tech Project, launched in 2019 with funding from the Province of BC. The Diversity in Tech Dashboard reports year-over-year progress on representation of equity-deserving groups in the BC tech sector. The project aims to improve the attraction, retention and advancement of women, Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, people of colour, newcomers to Canada, and individuals who identify as 2SLGBTQQIA+ in skilled technology occupations throughout the province.
In 2021, 171 tech employers participated in the Diversity in Tech Dashboard survey, providing industry-wide data on DE&I policies and practices and employee representation. Now in its second year, participation in this year’s survey was up by approximately 27%, from 134 employers in 2020. This year, 38% of participating organizations reported already having company-wide DE&I goals in place, with an additional 43% considering or currently working on goal-setting.
Key findings related to how employees self-identify*:
- 8.3% of employees self-identified as 2SLGBTQQIA+
- 2.9% representation of people with disabilities (apparent or non-apparent)
- 0.7% representation of Indigenous peoples in BC’s tech sector
* Based on survey results
Key findings related to employee reporting on their gender identity*:
- 66.6% self-identify as a man
- 33.2% self-identify as a woman
- 0.2% self-identify as non-binary or other
- 81% of the roles in human resources and 76% of the roles in administration are filled by women
- 23% of the roles in technology, design & support and manufacturing are filled by women
- 31% of executive level roles are filled by women
* Based on survey results
While 41% of employees reported identifying as visible minorities, this dropped to just 19% at the executive level. The representation of visible minorities is highest in software engineer and developer roles, with 44.5% representation, relative to the 41% reported across all employees.
The Diversity Dashboard showcases data from HR Tech Group’s 2021 Tech Salary Survey, which is produced in partnership with Mercer and includes data from 25,353 incumbents at 184 Canadian tech employers.
