IDC PeerScape: Practices to Improve Diversity and Inclusion in the European Tech Workforce

This IDC PeerScape examines three best practices for establishing successful D&I programs in the organization, focusing on three key elements: cultural change, role models, and adaptation of D&I programs to local environments. It provides concrete examples from European organizations that have been through the learning curve in these areas."The skills gap is delaying digital transformation in Europe by an average of 8.1 months. This is costing companies revenues and delaying product innovation," said Marianne Kolding, vice president, European Skills Practice. "Establishing successful D&I programs is morally right and helps solve the IT skills gap. In most IT job roles, salaries are increasing rapidly as companies are fishing in the same pond for talent. We need to increase the talent pool — and making tech careers attractive to a broader section of the workforce is an obvious approach."
