<p class="MsoNormal">In a rapidly evolving talent market, staying ahead means understanding not just the numbers, but their implications for your organisation. That&rsquo;s exactly what Lorien&rsquo;s Director of Solutions &amp; Insight, Darren Topping, delivers in our Talent Pulse Webinar series. In the last session of 2024, Darren analysed the current market, shared predictions for 2025, and examined the broader impact of the UK&rsquo;s shifting economic and legislative landscape on hiring strategies.</p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Current Market Trends: Stability amid shifting employment dynamics</span></strong></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Darren highlighted the complexity of employment trends in the UK. While there have been positive shifts since early 2024, some challenges remain. This includes unemployment rates that have unfortunately continued to increase, with the majority of the unemployed and economically inactive population sitting in two varying ends of the age scale &ndash;mainly 16&ndash;24-year-olds and 50&ndash;64-year-olds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we think about increasing unemployment rates, it&rsquo;s assumed that redundancies aren&rsquo;t too far away. However, redundancy reports fell last quarter, reinforcing the stability of today&rsquo;s job market despite broader economic challenges.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Darren also highlighted that job security is paramount right now, which has been discovered through Lorien&rsquo;s own candidate sentiment work. Although between 42% and 87% of candidates wanted to move roles this year (dependent on their role), nowhere near that number of people actually moved due to job security concerns and potential lack of opportunities in the market. The reluctance to change roles highlights the need for organisations to emphasise job security and clear career advancement pathways and skills development to retain top talent in a cautious market.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Organisations must address the widening unemployment gaps by tailoring attraction strategies. This could mean apprenticeship programs or early-career initiatives, while for older candidates, flexible working and reskilling opportunities could play a vital role. </span></p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Client Insights:</strong><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Trends in talent attraction and retention</span></strong></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the webinar, Darren called attention to recent trends we&rsquo;ve been seeing in the market and with our clients. For example, each organisation and each sector we have recently examined is now competing with a different set of competitors than usual. Sectors such as energy, utilities and legal organisations are currently more successful in attracting candidates from tech &amp; finance companies &ndash; a new trend for 2024. These sectors must therefore adapt by reevaluating their Employee Value Propositions (EVP). For example, focusing on flexibility, benefits, or mission-driven branding can help these firms regain their competitive edge.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also learned from our clients that the conversation on working patterns has quietened down slightly, with many organisations settling into a pattern of two days per week. Our research indicates that this may rise to three days per week by the end of 2025, with our clients expecting to see people in the office more. As an example, according to our data, cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford currently have fewer candidates per open job vacancy than London due to the new hub strategies, with talent pools not as developed therefore leading to fierce competition between candidates. The shift towards two- to three-day in-office patterns underscores the importance of hybrid work optimisation. At the same time, emerging regional hubs like Manchester and Birmingham require organisations to proactively invest in local talent development and consider innovative sourcing strategies to address talent shortages.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to Darren, the biggest area of curiosity that clients have been asking about recently is the use of AI and automation in recruitment. Darren reported that clients are equally focused on improving the hiring experience using AI as they are on efficiency. We have conducted significant horizon scanning of technologies in this space, and what we have seen is that &ndash; currently &ndash; there is not one single tool that solves all recruitment challenges using AI. The closest technologies to do this are ATS and CRM type technologies, which means organisations need to be prepared to invest if they wish to leverage this technology.</p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Legislative Challenges: How new policies affect workforce strategy</span></strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to industry insights and market overviews, Darren touched on recent legislation and policies &ndash; and how they are impacting hiring decisions and workforce strategies. One highly discussed change is the recent increase in employers National Insurance Contributions in the UK. For clients, this could mean that, in the face of increased payroll expenses, they feel compelled to reduce their workforce or implement hiring freezes to keep control of your costs. Recent feedback from the Association of Independent Professionals has highlighted that the increase will significantly impact umbrella company workers, potentially costing them well over &pound;1000 a year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another upcoming key change is that the National Living Wage is set to rise again from April 2025. This increase, alongside the NIC increase, leads to increased payroll costs for organisations, particularly those with a high proportion of low wage workers. These two factors could potentially dampen UK hiring in the next few months. Employers facing higher National Insurance Contributions and a rising National Living Wage could explore cost-saving measures such as automation, flexible work arrangements, or optimising workforce distribution through offshoring and nearshoring.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The new legislation that requires day one rights for all employees could also impact clients. There will be increased compliance requirements, more administrative responsibilities and potentially, again, increased employment costs which may lead to a further decline in vacancies in early 2025. Day-one rights may require organisations to overhaul onboarding processes and review contracts. Investing in HR tech solutions and training can help manage the increased administrative burden while maintaining compliance.</p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Stay Informed </strong></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">To stay ahead in today&rsquo;s competitive market, it&rsquo;s essential to translate insights into action.

Unlocking Market Insights: Key Highlights from Our Talent Pulse Webinar

<ul>
<li><strong>More than four in five</strong> say their work environment is inclusive and supportive</li>
<li><strong>Most feel they have equal access</strong> to opportunities available to male peers</li>
<li><strong>70% of women report </strong>feeling represented in company leadership</li>
</ul>
<p>Most women in technology say they feel supported and included in their current work environment, new research by Lorien has found. The <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/insights/women-in-tech-insights-2024">2024 Women in Tech Insights</a> survey of nearly 400 female talent across the US, UK, and Canada shows progress towards gender parity in this field, but some persistent barriers continue to hinder total equity in the workplace.</p>
<p>The survey provides evidence that women are achieving and experiencing progress in a field that has historically kept them out due to systemic barriers and a challenging work-life balance. A majority say they feel adequately represented by their company's leadership and that its inclusion policies are effective. Moreover, a majority expressed confidence in their abilities to do the job they have, and 1 in 4 want to advance to a leadership role.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Feeling supported and having equal access to job opportunities are key to encouraging women to pursue a sustained career in the tech field. With most saying they are content with their employer, we believe this will further shrink the gender gap in tech and drive more equitable and inclusive practices in many organizations,&rdquo; said Annelise Smith, managing director for Lorien Managed Solutions. &ldquo;While the data is a positive indicator of trends in this field, companies cannot be complacent in their efforts to attract, develop, and advance the next generation of women in tech.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Indeed, Lorien found that women are still struggling with aspects of working in the industry. For instance, work-life balance remains the most significant challenge for 2 in 5 women as demanding jobs force them to choose between personal and professional obligations. A majority also say female workers are often discouraged from pursuing a career in this profession, with those in North America feeling this way at a higher percentage (63%) than peers in the UK (54%).</p>
<h4>More evidence of progress</h4>
<p>While these findings are indicative of the gender disparity that still exists, Lorien&rsquo;s latest research further bolsters the idea of gains for women in tech and STEM roles. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/site-assets/pdf/SRG_Global_Talent_Trends_Insights2024_US_Version.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SRG&rsquo;s 2024 Global Talent Trends &amp; Insights research</a>, conducted with New Scientist Jobs Magazine, found a considerable narrowing of the gender pay gap among scientific&nbsp;professionals. Today&rsquo;s research shows that women are not only making gains in wages but also feeling included and supported at work.</p>
<p>To build on this momentum, survey participants say there are ways for employers to further gender parity in the workplace. About half (56% in the UK and 50% in North America) say having an equal gender balance in a company&rsquo;s workforce would significantly entice them to join. More than half (58%) in the UK say a company offering professional support networks for women is a compelling employee value proposition, while 48% in the US say strong female leadership representation would be an effective incentive.</p>
<p>&ldquo;As we witness more and more companies build on their employee resource groups for women and promote female leaders, this will have a snowball effect in attracting talent and advancing women&rsquo;s careers,&rdquo; said Ann Bookout, SVP, ED&amp;I and Change Effectiveness for Impellam. &ldquo;We believe providing these resources, along with mentoring and other support mechanisms, will accelerate women&rsquo;s careers and increase their numbers at the leadership level.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The 2024 Women in Tech Insight report is available in two versions: one containing <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/insights/women-in-tech-insights-2024">UK insights</a> and <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/us/insights/women-in-tech-us-insights-2024">one with North American data</a>.

Lorien Named Industry Leader in Everest Group PEAK Matrix® 2024 for UK IT Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions

<p class="MsoNormal">Gender diversity is becoming more and more crucial within technology, with organisations continuing to strive to attract and retain their female talent. Many initiatives have been launched across the UK to achieve gender equality &ndash; including <a href="https://impellam-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/liv_shaw_lorienglobal_com/EYG09ocI8mNAmnypcdS7G70B2CF_TnWBb3ge4-oNXozWNg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the City of London Corporation who launched a taskforce</a> in April this year to tackle the lack of women in digital roles after data revealed that less than 25% of women work in AI and data science.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our new <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/insights/women-in-tech-insights-2024">Women in Tech 2024 report</a> helps break down what female candidates are thinking, and what&rsquo;s making them tick. In this blog, we&rsquo;ve highlighted some of our key findings so organisations can utilise our research to learn how to nurture their female talent and attract new talent.</p>
<h4 class="MsoNormal"><strong>The tech working environment</strong></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">In our report, we asked women in tech a variety of questions about their current working environment. One key finding was that 34% of women rated <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>their current work environment as highly inclusive and supportive <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Most respondents, however, answered &lsquo;Good&rsquo; &ndash; the second highest rating &ndash; for their current work environment. This suggests that the majority of women in tech believe there is room for improvement in terms of inclusivity and support in the workplace.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When it comes to equal opportunities, nearly half of our female respondents felt they <strong>mostly</strong> had access to the same career advancements as their male counterparts. Only a quarter of women we surveyed feel as though they <strong>always</strong> have equal access to career opportunities. Overall, a third of our participants felt they occasionally, rarely or never had access to the same opportunities as men. For organisations striving for equality, this point should drive home. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Our research found that most women in tech do not feel they are always able to advance in the same way their male colleagues do, and action can be taken to make workplaces more inclusive.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Similarly, 41% of women believe their company&rsquo;s inclusion policies are only &lsquo;somewhat&rsquo; effective, as opposed to very effective. Surprisingly, 20% of women we surveyed were neutral on the matter, and 10% believe the policies are ineffective. Although a total of 68% of women believe their company&rsquo;s policies are very or somewhat effective, the remaining 32% suggests that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>organisations can do much more to ensure their policies represent everyone and are actioned appropriately.</p>
<h4 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Career aspirations for women in technology</strong></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second half of our report asks women their motivations for entering technology, the challenges they have face in the industry and their thoughts on the future for women in technology. An overwhelming 48% of women said that a personal interest in tech motivated them to enter a career in the industry and only 20% said that the high earning potential was a main motivator. Earlier in the year, <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/insights/what-tech-candidates-want-2024">we performed a survey for all candidates</a> in tech which found that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>men were more interested in money &ndash; a fact that is re-enforced in the Women in Tech survey as salary appears low for women&rsquo;s motivations to join the tech sector. Furthermore, only 6% of women in tech were influenced by role models or mentors when entering a career in technology. However, with many organisations creating programmes to address the under-representation of women in tech, such as the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ddat-women-in-tech-programme/ddat-women-in-tech-programme">UK government&rsquo;s Women in Tech initiative</a>, this figure is sure to increase over the coming years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Interestingly, almost half of women said that the biggest challenge they had faced as a woman in the tech industry was work/life balance. This aligns with our previous <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/insights/what-tech-candidates-want-2024">What Tech Candidates Want 2024 survey</a> which highlighted that one of the key benefits for women working in tech is <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>flexible working. Over a quarter of the women we surveyed have faced challenges of gender bias and discrimination, with a similar number facing pay disparity. This should spotlight how crucial equality in all aspects of the workplace is to organisations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the more positive results in the survey was that 87% of women in technology feel confident with their role competency, with only 1% of women stating they were very unconfident and 10% remaining neutral on the matter. It is excellent that, despite the challenges mentioned and women feeling somewhat underrepresented within technology, they still believe they are highly competent within their roles, with the majority aiming to continue to specialise over the next few years.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Despite previous economic uncertainty, the UK economy and the UK tech industry is proving to be more resilient than previously thought and we&rsquo;re emerging stronger than most analysts predicted. The challenge now is for organisations to take advantage of this opportunity.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this blog, I&rsquo;ll be exploring the resilience of the UK market, how the tech sector is driving growth, and how organisations can strike whilst the iron is hot to attract the best tech talent the UK has to offer.</p>
<h4 class="MsoNormal">The UK&rsquo;s economic strength</h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">The UK economy is showing signs of real strength with many macroeconomic indicators pointing to much better times ahead. We have seen it <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq82y55jg35o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recover strongly for the past two quarters, growing 0.6% between April and June of this year.</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The commentary over the last few years warned us that we should expect to have a deep and prolonged recession and struggle to navigate challenging economic times. Although there have been struggles, especially following the recovery from the global pandemic, we confounded the critics and technically only went into a recession for one financial quarter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is absolutely a reason to get behind the data we&rsquo;ve been seeing with a general positive tone being set by the economic conditions &ndash; and we should be proud that <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/economics/article/services-grow-while-rest-of-the-uk-economy-struggles-d2v0nphb9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">technology and the service sector is leading the way</a>. We are starting to see interest rates drop and inflation come down following the General Election &ndash; <a href="https://ukandeu.ac.uk/is-the-economy-really-in-such-bad-shape/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">down to 2.2% (in July) from a peak of 11.1%</a>. <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13200758" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GDP figures also increased</a> by 0.7% earlier this year, and it was highlighted that the services sector was performing strongly &ndash; with IT and tech being a standout.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This all highlights that we are a nation full of wonderful entrepreneurs with real opportunities in the tech sector, with new research showing that technology <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.co.uk/news/aws/uk-digital-technology-report-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could add &pound;520 billion to the UK economy by 2030.</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h4 class="MsoNormal">The UK and the tech sector</h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">This country is positioning itself as the <a href="https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/uk-leads-ai-investment-in-europe--ahead-of-france-and-germany/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">world leader in AI</a>, becoming a global focal point in the media. There have been many commitments from organisations and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/leading-tech-firms-invest-over-2-billion-in-the-uk-in-one-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">funding in creating the UK</a> as the global centre for AI, with great opportunities for technology in the UK.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why is this important when we speak about economic recovery? Because AI touches everything and creates opportunities in all core technology areas with <a href="https://www.michaelpage.co.uk/news-and-research-centre/media-releases/software-engineer-is-the-worlds-most-in-demand-profession-new-analysis-reveals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rising demand for Software Developers, Data Engineers</a> and other<span class="MsoHyperlink"> associated technologies</span>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whilst the growth of AI is, of course, exciting and will increase opportunities within technology, data underpins everything and will enable AI to deliver the business outcomes that organisations desire.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, most organisations looking to take advantage of AI do not have their own data in a good and healthy place. In a recent survey, <a href="https://www.techradar.com/pro/nearly-all-uk-businesses-are-ready-for-ai-but-can-they-now-take-advantage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">only 32% of IT leaders believed their organisation&rsquo;s data</a> was ready to reap the rewards of AI due to their data being unorganised. Understandably, much of the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/huge-boost-for-global-security-with-almost-1-billion-government-investment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent IT investments has gone into cybersecurity and digital</a> transformation as people modernise their businesses. However, AI is becoming top of the agenda, and we are seeing businesses prioritise the organisation of their data.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, how many organisations can say they are ready for AI to be let loose on their data? You can have the most innovative tools and data technology, but if you&rsquo;re pointing it towards inaccurate and bad data the consequences could be catastrophic. There is a real need for organisations to commit to data governance and get their data in a place where they can really take advantage of AI and automation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Great data with great tech and AI capabilities can open up wonderful opportunities and competitive advantages.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h4 class="MsoNormal">Taking advantage in technology recruitment</h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">Organisations need to be brave and bold and take advantage of the candidate market now. In our <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>latest <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/what-tech-candidates-want-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Tech Candidates Want 2024 survey</a>, we found that 87% of candidates are expecting to look for new roles in the next 12 months. There is a latent workforce that have not moved roles, and the average tenure of people in technology at an all-time high with candidates waiting for the right opportunity to present itself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why is this? Because one of the characteristics of the brief recession we went through was that there was not &lsquo;wholesale layoffs&rsquo; &ndash; organisations reduced their headcount, but not to the scale we have seen in previous rough economic times. Organisations have held on to their staff, knowing how hard it was to attract them originally. Candidates will now start to make crucial career choices, and it&rsquo;s important that organisations are at the front of the queue for the best talent.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Organisations that want to take advantage of improving market conditions and tech growth, including AI, have now got the best opportunity they have ever had. The research shows, many candidates are looking to make a change. This is great news for employers, as they have a talent pool that is ready to take on the next generation of tech within AI and associated tools.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/what-tech-candidates-want-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Tech Candidates Want report</a> also highlighted upskilling being prioritised over financial reward for many candidates, with 32% of under 45s wanting to learn new technology. It&rsquo;s clear that candidates recognise the changing skills of the economy and have a desire to get involved with organisations that are forward-thinking and adopting new technology.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">UK PLC has exceeded expectations, and tech is leading the way. Now is the time for organisations to take advantage of the workforce that is looking to move over the next year. Act now, take advantage of the best opportunities to secure candidates.</p>

The UK market quickly recovered from a brief recession and is continuing to grow, but what does that mean for tech talent in the UK?

Economic recovery and growth of AI unlock new opportunities for employers in the UK tech talent market

The UK’s cyber security industry is one of the most crucial sectors for safeguarding the nation’s digital landscape, however, it continues to be overwhelmingly dominated by men.

<p class="MsoNormal">The UK&rsquo;s cyber security industry is one of the most crucial sectors for safeguarding the nation&rsquo;s digital landscape. A recent study by the <a href="https://www.weforum.org/publications/global-cybersecurity-outlook-2023/">World Economic Forum</a> showed that 59% of global businesses would find it difficult to respond to a cyber security incident due to the shortage of skills.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, how can organisations make sure that they have a robust system and the right people inside their organisation to mitigate against the risks, as the world&rsquo;s dependence on technology continues to grow?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One key and important solution is to work towards building a more inclusive and effective cyber security workforce by improving diversity. The UK&rsquo;s cyber security industry continues to be overwhelmingly dominated by men. As of May 2024, women constituted just 17.9% of the workforce, with men making up the remaining 82.1%, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/uk-cyber-industry-dominated-by-men-6119508/">LinkedIn&rsquo;s Economic Graph team</a>. While this marks a slight improvement from 17.5% in 2023, the gender disparity remains significant, highlighting ongoing challenges and the urgent need for action.</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Historical and Cultural Barriers</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">The underrepresentation of women in cyber security is not a new issue; it is rooted in deep-seated historical and cultural factors. For decades, cyber security, like much of the technology sector, has been perceived as a male-dominated field. This perception has resulted in a lack of female role models and mentors, which many believe is one of the reasons why women are discouraged from pursuing careers in this area.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/uk-cyber-industry-dominated-by-men-6119508/">Jane Frankland, a cyber security expert</a> and LinkedIn Top Voice, points out that this perception has long shaped educational environments, which often fail to actively encourage women to pursue studies in computer science&mdash;a common gateway into cyber security. The lack of encouragement in schools and universities means fewer women are entering the pipeline, which perpetuates the gender imbalance in the workforce.</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><strong>The STEM Education Pipeline</strong></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">The challenges faced by women in cyber security often start early in their educational journey. <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/women-in-tech-the-best-bet-to-solve-europes-talent-shortage">McKinsey &amp; Company&rsquo;s</a> research highlights two critical points where the percentage of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields drops significantly: during the transition from secondary education to university and from university to the workforce. The drop is particularly sharp at these junctures, with an 18% decline from secondary education to university and a further 15% drop from university to the workforce.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Furthermore, the share of women in the workforce is lowest in the tech roles that are growing fastest, such as cyber security, DevOps and cloud. At current rates, the share of women in tech roles in Europe is heading toward a decline to 21 percent by 2027.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This leaky pipeline indicates that while young women might initially show interest in STEM subjects, systemic barriers such as lack of support, mentorship, and encouragement, along with prevailing gender stereotypes, deter them from continuing. By the time they reach the job market, the number of women entering cyber security roles has dwindled considerably.</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Workplace Challenges and Biases</strong></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once in the workforce, women in cyber security often face additional hurdles. Unconscious biases in hiring practices and workplace cultures can create environments that are unwelcoming or challenging for women. Frankland notes that <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/uk-cyber-industry-dominated-by-men-6119508/">women often have to work harder, longer, and obtain more certifications to prove their competence</a>, which can be discouraging and exhausting. This extra burden not only affects job satisfaction and retention but also perpetuates the gender gap as fewer women choose to stay in or advance within the industry.</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><strong>The International Context</strong></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Interestingly, the gender gap in cyber security is not as pronounced in some other countries. In Italy, <a href="https://economicgraph.linkedin.com/content/dam/me/economicgraph/en-us/PDF/global-cybersecurity-talent-trends.pdf">women made up 26.7% of the cyber security workforce as of May 2024, and in Singapore, they accounted for 26.2%.</a> These figures suggest that the UK could learn from international best practices and cultural attitudes that are more supportive of gender diversity in tech.</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Moving Towards Greater Diversity</strong></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Addressing the gender disparity in the UK cyber security industry requires a multifaceted approach. Educational institutions need to actively encourage young women to pursue STEM subjects and provide robust support systems throughout their academic journey. In the workplace, companies must tackle unconscious biases in hiring and promotion practices and create cultures that are inclusive and supportive of all genders.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the key findings from <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/what-tech-candidates-want-2024">Lorien&rsquo;s 2024 study on &lsquo;What Tech Candidates Want&rsquo;</a> revealed that the top reason candidates look for a new role is for opportunities to learn new skills. This was a complete change from 2023, when 40% of candidates said that salary was their key motivation. Employers can take advantage of this change in sentiment and make a real difference in attracting top female talent into their organisations by offering training, upskilling and progression.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Role models also play a critical role in this effort. Prominent female figures in the cybersecurity industry, such as Jessica Barker MBE PhD, Sarah Armstrong-Smith, Sian John MBE, and others, are essential in challenging stereotypes and providing inspiration for the next generation of women. Their visibility and success help to slowly shift perceptions and open doors for more women to enter and thrive in the field.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Companies and organisations that are looking to build competitive advantage and growth by addressing their technology gap should consider one fact: women occupy only 22 percent of all tech roles across European companies. That&rsquo;s a staggering statistic at a time when technology underpins so much of the innovation and growth in the world today. In Lorien&rsquo;s most recent <a href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/salary-survey-2024">Salary Survey</a>, we found that there are roughly 22,000 candidates in the cyber security space, increasing by 3% YoY. The average time in a role is 20-21 months, with 18% of employees changing jobs last year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With concerted efforts from educators, employers, and industry leaders, the sector can become more inclusive and reflective of the diverse society it serves. Bridging the gender gap is not just about fairness; it&rsquo;s about harnessing the full potential of the talent pool to better protect and innovate within the ever-evolving digital world.</p>

<h2>Our Delivery</h2>
<p>Our experts have real world experience and understand what is required to deliver immediate value and achieve results. We begin by conducting discovery sessions to analyse your project, identify your goals, define the scope, and establish key milestones. We work closely with you to understand the challenges you face, then provide the necessary capabilities to execute your projects successfully.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our teams work collaboratively with yours to drive discovery, boost productivity, enhance delivery capability, and promote continuous learning.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Why choose us?</h2>
<p>A Statement of Work offers an alternative to conventional recruitment models. Instead of supplying resources on an hourly basis, a SOW provides fixed costs for achieving set milestones or deliverables. Our Project Delivery team manages the process with expert PMO governance, implementing tracking and constant evaluation to ensure the outcome meets the objectives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h1>Statement of Work (SOW) / Managed Services Delivery</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>Technology is changing the world. We help deliver that change.</strong></em></p>
<p>In a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world, digital transformation has become vital for businesses to stay relevant. We empower our clients to embrace agility, bridge capability gaps, and build better businesses, by combining local insights with deep tech expertise in key areas such as Cloud, Data, Cyber Security, AI, Software, and more.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Led by industry experts, we combine deep tech sector knowledge with advanced analytics and years of experience in specialist project and programme delivery to solve critical business challenges. This solution is managed by the technology specialism within <strong>Impellam Project Services</strong>.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What is a Statement of Work?</h2>
<p>A Statement of Works agreement is a contract that captures the details of the services that we will deliver. It typically outlines the work that needs to be completed, or the scope of work being delivered, project milestones, timelines, work locations, and payment terms. By offering meaningful metrics and strategic reporting on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis, we supply you with concrete data and insights into our team&rsquo;s performance. We prioritise setting up the right framework from the outset of any project to ensure that our clients&rsquo; expectations are clearly understood and met.</p>

<h2>What are the benefits to a Statement of Work solution?</h2>
<details>
<summary><strong>Transparency</strong></summary>
<p>At the beginning of our service, we set realistic timeframes that deliver you the best results in the shortest timeframe. Our service is a collaborative journey. We promote visibility and control through weekly and monthly operational meetings, business reviews, progress updates and project performance reports.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Efficiency</strong></summary>

</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Expertise</strong></summary>
