Are you an employer who strives for a more diverse workforce?

Research shows the more diverse the team, the higher the productivity, creativity and profitability. Still, 92 % of developers are men, and women leave tech roles at a 45% higher rate than men. So, how can you as an employer attract and retain the right competence?

Leading for Inclusion in Tech is an interactive course with hands-on tools to help companies create inclusive workplaces with diverse workforce where employees can thrive, no matter gender or background.

The course is built on research and unique experience and insights from  developers in the Pink Programming network, and developed and delivered with experts on inclusive leadership. After the course  you'll have access to an online toolbox to help you implement what you have learned.

When? May 2nd & May 16th

Background

Research shows the more diverse the team, the higher the productivity, creativity and profitability of the team. Still, 95 % of all developers are men. We want to change that.

Pink Programming is Sweden’s biggest community for programmers that are women, transgender and non-binary. We work towards a gender equal tech industry by creating inspiring coding events and camps and hosting D&I courses for companies. Over the years we have gained unique insights from thousands of people in the industry who have shared their experiences with us, and developed the course with experts in gender equality and inclusive recruitment, to combine our knowledge with evidence based research and statistics. The result is a unique, interactive course, focusing on improving gender equality at workplaces through recruitment and inclusive work environments.
