Tech has a diversity problem
summary
Tech workforce demographics show 26% of the computing profession are women and many senior roles are far lower, while 58% of US small businesses are woman-run. Concrete fixes include a forced promotion review in the first three years that yields a 30% increase in promotions for women without reducing men’s promotions. Other tools mentioned are changing marketing to avoid alienating women and platforms like Callisto for confidential harassment reporting.
