Retaining Diverse Talent Through Listening

  • Summary

  • Overall, tech companies work hard to achieve inclusive hiring but can be dismayed when new hires from diverse backgrounds don’t stick around. What factors impact how employees feel about the workplace environment, and whether your company is the right place for them?


    In this third episode of our series, host Jamika Burge speaks with Joan Williams, the founder of Bias Interruptors; Marisela Martinez-Cola, a sociology professor at Morehouse College; Rocío Medina van Nierop, the CEO and co-founder of Latinas in Tech; and Mia Ong, a senior research scientist at TERC. They talk about the biases women of color face in tech and how real, honest feedback can teach companies not just where the problems lie but how to solve them.


    Based on research and analysis from the National Academies’ consensus study “Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech,” Burge and her guests use design thinking to help engineering and tech companies recruit, retain, and advance women and people of color in their ranks.
