Keynote: Gender diversity in engineering workplace
summary
Workplace programs focus on measurable actions: internal Creator Studio tools and an engineering productivity charter that targets releases, testing and quality; running mentorship and education initiatives including CS First curricula and a Women Techmakers day; offering implicit association test links and unconscious-bias training that research shows temporarily shifts behavior; tracking representation since the 1980s with a steady drop in CS female participation; running internships (currently three interns and one more planned) and changing meeting and hiring practices to boost inclusion.
