Tech Talent Charter
The TTC was created because solving the diversity problem in tech requires a collective effort across companies and sectors. Our mission is to connect the dots NOT to reinvent the wheel.
There is no magic bullet solution. Only by organisations working together can we solve the problem.

And there are obstacles

‘We don't know where to begin with our inclusion strategy’
‘We struggle to get people to return to work after taking family leave or they leave soon after returning’
We know we need to make flexible and remote working a success, but we don’t know how to change our ‘facetime’ culture’
‘We don’t have a dedicated resource or team to focus on this’
‘We have tried to find candidates from more diverse backgrounds to fill our roles, but we haven’t succeeded and don’t know what else we can do’
‘So many of our females leave us about 5-10 years into their career’
‘We know other companies are leading on D&I but we don’t have the contacts (or budget) to get help to do the same’
‘We have no idea how to implement a successful returner programme and have limited resource to invest in this’
‘We have no budget for consultants or expensive external memberships’
Tech Talent Charter
At the Tech Talent Charter we have had enough with talking about why this problem matters. We focus on how to address it.

Common questions
Do you have an executive summary?Yes. Tech Talent Charter Executive Summary
Do I have to already be leading in the inclusion and diversity space? No. We have companies joining at all stages of the journey. Some are well on the way to reaping the benefits of good practice while others are just starting out their journey.
Is my company the right type of company to become a Signatory? Yes. We welcome any organisation that has a vested interest in improving inclusion and diversity in tech either as an employer, consultant, recruiter or as an organisation that is active in the inclusion space. TTC is for organisations of all sizes, from start-ups to large multinationals, spanning all industry sectors from entertainment to banking.
How much time will this take us? What do we have to do?As little or as much as you like. Some Signatories are very involved by participating in our events and our Hackathons, have volunteers on our Ambassador Programme or have sponsored an aspect of our Toolkit or an event. Other Signatories might just follow the conversation on Twitter and LinkedIn and share good practice and ideas within their organisation. Our expectation is simply that Signatories continue to share what works and what doesn’t and to provide data on annually.
What is the cost?No. There is no membership fee. Our business model is based on a mix of sponsorship and government funding.
Will I be required to provide data annually?Yes. We believe that data is the starting point to driving measurable change. Failure to complete and submit annual data by the deadline will result in an organisation being removed as a TTC Signatory.

Our Toolkit: The Diversity in Tech Report.
New to the TTC | 21
The Tech Talent Charter (TTC) is committed to securing the future of the tech talent pipeline. A key driver of this is our annual Diversity in Tech report, which showcases curated diversity and inclusion (D&I) data we amass from our Signatory base of companies with tech needs in the United Kingdom.
The report offer both qualitative and quantitative resources including company size and regional benchmarking. Direct from the responses of our signatories we report on what is working and the struggles in the industry to create a rounded insight.
Our most recent report uses data from 580 organisations – an increase of 162, year on year. Our dataset covers 196,179 people working in technical roles in the UK. We estimate that this represents around 15-16% of the current UK tech-skilled labour force — making this one of the largest, broadest, and most up-to-date available datasets of its kind.
Tech Talent Charter
Our Toolkit: Open Playbook DE&I strategies, resources, and case studies.
