The Power and Influence of a Diverse Corporate Culture
It’s no secret that the technology sector isn’t diverse. Just look around. Study after study shows diverse tech teams make better decisions and have higher success rates, so what stops us from getting there? In this talk, Jen will walk you through the research and conclusions on why diversity is important, how you can advocate for others, and what a diverse culture can bring to us.
