Harvey Nash Women in Technology Survey

Harvey Nash would like to invite you to take part in the first Harvey Nash Women in Technology Survey.  The survey takes 5 minutes to complete and all participants will receive a full copy of the report and invitation to follow up events/our Women in Technology Network.

Harvey Nash are passionate about diversity and the careers of women.  From the most recent Harvey Nash CIO and Technology Surveys the statistics concern us, only 8% of respondents to our 2013 CIO Survey  and 13% of respondents to our 2014 Technology Survey were female.  Therefore we have devised a short survey which we believe will allow us to gather useful information in our quest to helping more women pursue careers or remain in technology.  The questions cover your education choices, career path and feedback on the benefits of working in technology.

To take part, please click here.

With the information gathered, we aim to:

  • Increase awareness about the importance of STEM subjects in secondary/tertiary      level education
  • Increase awareness about the breadth of roles within IT
  • Organise role models and career guidance talks in schools and colleges/universities around the country
  • Publish our first Women in Technology report and a series of events

 

The survey will only take 5 minutes and for every completed survey, Harvey Nash Ireland will donate €1 to the Irish Cancer society and Harvey Nash UK will donate £1 to Action for Children. To take part please click here Women in Technology
