From W2.0 authored by Kendall Tucker:
“It should not be a surprise to anyone that women in tech face a myriad of challenges today. Even though 75% of young girls show interest in STEM, only 0.4% of college women major in computer science. We start 17% of companies but only receive 2% of funding. We are systematically passed over for promotions. These are enduring, systemic problems that will only be solved with long-term, deliberate improvements in female education, hiring, promotions, parental leave policies, and the end of workplace harassment.
Unfortunately, the enormity of solving these enduring challenges often obscures smaller workplace improvements that can lead to quicker wins as we drive towards happiness and equality for all employees. There are a thousand little things that can be done to improve workplace equality; if you can make even these ten changes tomorrow (which virtually anyone can do!), your employees will feel more included, focused and successful. I promise.”
