Research shows that 66% of self-reported black professionals are dissatisfied with their current job
A survey conducted by IT Mídia, a research, awards and events company in the technology area, evaluated the relationship between IT professionals and their employers from a diversity and inclusion perspective. The study provides evidence for an analysis of the real-life circumstances of the incorporation of women and self-identified black women in the sector, based on information revealing current job satisfaction, recognition seeking, employability and job motivators. career.
For two months, 445 professionals of this niche from all over Brazil answered the questions posed by the company.
The least satisfied with their current job are self-reported blacks (66%). Of these, 33% said their current career cycle is coming to an end, 20% said they are considering other opportunities, and 13% said they need something different soon. Among white and mixed-race professionals, 50% said they were happy and engaged.
What is behind this dissatisfaction?
By analyzing what might be behind the dissatisfaction of these professionals, or by asking what their main motivations would be in a work environment, the result attracts attention, since 60% of them indicate recognition and position as the main satisfaction factors, as well as 43% of women.
In men, this index drops to 35% and loses the main motivating factor, which is responsibility for the function performed (37%).
Black professionals are among the most sought-after job postings, at 33%, followed by browns (28%), yellows (25%) and whites (23%).
“This reveals that there is research to increase ethnic diversity in the market. However, despite the fact that diversity is increasingly discussed within organizations, the data indicate that 1/3 of women rarely receive job offers,” explains Pedro Hagge, head of studies and research at IT Mídia.
IT teams don’t work on diversity
In the general survey, another fact attracts attention. When asked about the top challenges forcing IT professionals to switch companies, low team diversity appears with 9%, a rate that rises to 38% when respondents are in the under 25 age group.
For Hagge, diversity should increasingly be observed by companies. “Managers should investigate the issue in order to be able to hire and retain these professionals who are entering the market and will occupy important positions in the near future. Additionally, the diversity agenda has become a differentiator for young people when it comes to joining a company,” she concludes.
