DIY Tech Inclusion
summary
Claims simple, actionable DIY steps raise inclusion without a consultant: focus on four pillars—hiring, retention, promotion, culture—and use concrete tools like separate essential and non-essential qualifications, run job descriptions through joblint/textio, advertise on affinity job boards, and set up interview cheat sheets and blind technical screens. Cited metrics: top-quartile gender-diverse firms are +15% likelier to be more profitable and diverse teams show ~22% lower turnover while diverse employees leave 3× more often. Low-cost fixes include mentoring, amplification, accessibility and paid parental leave.
