Women and men struggle equally with work/life balance and high pressure job demands
Twenty-nine percent of women in the IT field experience an unwelcoming work environment to women and minorities, compared to only seven percent of men who feel the same way, according to the 2016 Harvey Nash Women in Technology survey. Survey results reveal long hours, high pressure and poor work/life balance impact men and women fairly equally. However, when it comes to opportunities for advancement, more than one-third of women (37 percent) cite a challenge in this area, compared to just one-fifth (20 percent) of men. Further, the more tenure a woman has in IT, the more likely she is to list lack of advancement opportunities as a major challenge.
The inaugural survey of more than 600 women and men in technology was conducted in partnership with ARA, an organization whose goal is to Attract, Retain and Advance women in technology, and highlights the current state of affairs, challenges and opportunities for women working in IT.
“The survey reveals incredible insight into how both women and men experience the challenges of working in IT," said Harvey Nash USAPAC President and CEO Bob Miano. "Women and men feel the same stresses in many areas, including balancing work with outside responsibilities, and keeping up with evolving skills needed to do their jobs. But when it comes to opportunities for advancement and a culture that embraces women and minorities, we see a big divide. There is much opportunity for companies to improve inclusion and advancement of women throughout their organizational levels.”
Leslie Vickrey, Co-founder of ARA, said, “The survey results reveal 78 percent of these companies lack a formal program to advance women in technology roles. We’ve found many companies have good intentions and want to do the right thing, but progress often breaks down between intention and execution. When companies commit to holistically incorporating diversity into their business, it leads to recruiting better talent, higher retention, and more innovation. Diversity has a direct correlation to success.”
