What countries or regions are embracing D & I and which have more work to do ?
SM : North America , the UK , Australia , and several European countries have made solid progress , and this is the topic on every CEO ’ s agenda . However , progress is less consistent in some developing countries and in Asia .
AL : At Thoughtworks , we are committed to diversity and inclusion across all our regions and have global aspirational goals in place to continue increasing gender representation in tech . However , aligning efforts across regions can become more complicated when you take into account nuances such as socio-political and legal factors in different countries . For example , race and ethnicity continues to be a big focus for Thoughtworks in the UK , as well as other regions like North America , Brazil , and Germany . In India this area is more complex , however Thoughtworks India has been leading on LGBTQ + inclusion for many years which is particularly important given some of the laws that still exist , preventing LGBTQ + people from being fully accepted .
