‘The Rooney Rule’

Key Points | Summary

Something that is ‘for everyone’, needs to reflect that. And that

means being built by everyone’

As an industry we need to recruit 1 million tech skilled people by

2020

Companies with a diverse workforce and with females

represented more equally, across all levels, are commercially more

successful.

Lets work together to change the status quo, please sign up to the Tech Talent Charter and together

lets make a difference.

Thank You
