B-Me Today Survey Reveals Persistent Exclusion of Minorities in Tech Industry
The Californer/10285692

EAST BAY, Calif. - Californer -- Despite some progress, a significant number of minorities still do not feel fully included or experience true diversity within the tech industry. This sentiment was echoed in a recent survey conducted by B-Me Today, which found that 81% of minority tech professionals reported feeling excluded or experiencing microaggressions in their workplaces.

Jaynette Lancaster, Founder at B-Me Today, commented, "These findings underscore the ongoing challenges minorities face in the tech sector. While many companies have made strides in diversity and inclusion initiatives, there is still much work to be done to create truly equitable and welcoming environments for all."

The survey also revealed that:

• 72% of minority tech professionals have experienced or witnessed workplace discrimination based on their race or ethnicity.
• 64% believe their companies are not doing enough to promote diversity and inclusion.
• 48% have considered leaving their jobs due to the lack of inclusion. These statistics highlight the need for continued efforts to address systemic barriers and unconscious biases that contribute to the lack of inclusion for minorities in tech.

B-Me Today is committed to working with industry leaders, policymakers, and community organizations to drive meaningful change and ensure that the tech industry reflects the diversity of our society.
