World Business Report

Available for over a year

Many people working in the industry claim a ‘bro’ culture continues to dominate despite several cases of discrimination and harassment going to court. So is enough being done to redress the gender imbalance? Our workplace commentator Stephanie Hare argues that many large technology companies remain woefully ignorant about the need to promote inspirational women as role models.
