Technology Community for Racial Equality (TC4RE)

When it comes to racial equality, we can all do better. Without bias or discrimination, we create better teams, make better decisions and become better businesses. That’s why the Technology Community for Racial Equality (TC4RE) exists. As a group of leading UK technology organisations dedicated to building a more diverse and inclusive workforce, our ambition goes beyond simply raising awareness. We’re taking action to rebalance representation in the UK tech industry for the benefit of individuals and the organisations they work for. Diverse workforces offer new perspectives, enhance creativity, boost productivity and improve public perception. They celebrate differences, empower employees and inspire future generations. Yet today… - Only 15% of people working in tech are from ethnic-minority backgrounds. - Over 22% of employees in the UK private sector have experienced or witnessed racism from colleagues, customers or clients. - And 34% of black employees in the UK technology sector believe their ethnicity will be a barrier to their career development. This inequality harms lives and damages businesses. It limits opportunities, discourages and drives away talent, restricts recruitment and negatively impacts reputations. TC4RE intends to overcome these challenges.
