“It’s important that we change that dynamic and encourage more women to join the field.'
Attracting more diverse hires could also help mitigate the effects of the continuing information-technology talent shortage, CIOs say.
In a study published this year, CompTIA said four out of 10 U.S. companies plan to make IT workforce diversity a high priority in 2020. JPMorgan Chase & Co. has created similar mentoring and skills-development programs for young women, said CIO Lori Beer.Developing talent early can help usher more women into tech careers and leadership roles. The number of black, Latina and Native American women receiving computing degrees in U.S. has dropped by 40% over the past decade, to 4% from 7%, according to a report last year by McKinsey & Co.
Mike Braine, CIO of Tapestry Inc., the owner of the Coach and Kate Spade brands, said the luxury-goods company recently created “talent councils” charged with ensuring the recruiting process casts the widest possible net. “We are looking at every employee and critically determining the skills and opportunities required to build versatile, confident professionals,” he said.
Another approach CIOs are taking is to provide internal training programs to raise awareness of the need for diversity and foster a more inclusive environment.
