Women’s representation in the tech sector is improving across the country, even amid other drops in diversity.
Women were represented most in tech companies’ human resources departments , while representation lacked in technology, design and support . The report found that the most significant proportion of people who self-identify as a person of colour were in the manufacturing sector , with the lowest being in the executive/corporate level – those figures remain unchanged since 2023.
Underrepresented groups like persons with disabilities slightly increased by one percentage point from 4.2 per cent compared with 2023, with the largest numbers coming from those working in human resources.However, representation for Indigenous persons was the lowest and even saw a decrease of 0.1 percentage points in the last year.
However, only 18 per cent of senior leadership in these companies has set accountability to match these goals.
