What’s IN and OUT for 2025? As we gear up for the new year, here’s your cheat sheet for what we think will be the trends shaping the future of DEI and tech: What’s IN: ✅ Allyship that counts: Men advocating for gender equity, mentoring women, and embedding allyship into workplace cultures. ✅ Inclusive product design: Tech built by everyone, for everyone. ✅ Pay transparency: Equity audits and addressing pay gaps openly. ✅ Empowering women in cybersecurity: Breaking barriers and closing the gender gap in tech’s critical fields. ✅ Growth mindsets and microlearning: Bite-sized learning to stay adaptable in evolving workplaces.

Despite what some might think, the reality for women in tech is tough. Women hold only 27% of all computer science jobs and just 21% of executive roles in tech companies. This isn’t by chance; it’s because of the barriers and biases they face. Here are some examples: - Lack of Mentorship: Finding mentors who can offer guidance and support is often a struggle. - Implicit Bias: Subtle prejudices that question women’s abilities and leadership potential. - Exclusionary Cultures: Work environments that don’t support diversity and inclusion. At WECAN, we’re all about changing this narrative. Here’s how we can tackle these issues: - Mentorship Programs: Connect with experienced pros who can guide you. - Bias Training: Promote awareness to reduce workplace biases. - Inclusive Communities: Build networks that truly support diversity and inclusion.
