It is no secret that the tech industry struggles with diversity. The numbers of women and people from ethnically diverse backgrounds remain low and has done for decades. In this first of a two-part episode of Making Waves, we explore some of the problems around diversity in tech and hear testimony from people in the industry about what it feels like to be the odd one out - whether that be the only woman in the room or the lone black programmer in a software firm. In part two, which will be available in March, we’ll look at the solutions and offer some practical tips for businesses determined to tackle this issue.
