Companies that want to obtain their ‘gender score’ have to take a (free) test, provide some data and answer about fifteen questions. These were devised based on the results of a survey of 2,000 women. Their responses allowed 50inTech to determine which discriminations Tech employees face most in their workplace:
- career development
- a fee
- work environment (harassment)
- work life balance
