Report: US Black workers in tech switch jobs more often, feel less connected
Black tech professionals in the US consistently experience systemic barriers to growth that lead to shorter-than- average tenures in their roles compared to their non-Black peers, according to a report released this week by Russell Reynolds Associates, a top-tier executive search and management consultancy, and Valence, the leading community to connect and empower Black professionals.
The joint report, “Shaping the Future of Leadership for Black Tech Talent," studied the career histories, goals, successes, frustrations, and general experiences of US-based Black tech talent and how it compares to non-Black counterparts. The report also provides recommendations for how tech companies can close the Black representation gap.
