Tech Inclusion Solution: Day 30: A Platform To Benchmark Tech Companies Diversity & Inclusion Efforts
100 Solutions to Diversity and Inclusion in tech.
Since the inaugural Tech Inclusion Conference in 2015 we have received and granted over 100+ scholarship applications to attendees. For each scholarship application we ask one simple question “What solutions would you like to see for diversity and inclusion in tech?” Below is a series leading up to the 2016 Tech Inclusion Conference of “100+ Solutions to Diversity and Inclusion in tech”. The Theme for Tech Inclusion 2016 Conference is Inclusive and Sustainable Innovation and will be held October 26th — 27th at the Innovation Hangar in San Francisco. Tech Inclusion Conference is presented by Google for Entrepreneurs. The conference will feature a career fair, a startup showcase and an tech innovation demo hall. Early Bird tickets are on sale now.
Solution: A Platform To Benchmark Tech Companies Diversity & Inclusion Efforts
Benchmarking diversity efforts to measure progress over time. There is no standard for what companies are good places to work for employees from marginalized communities. The lists that currently exists are not statistically significant, nor are they inclusive of a company’s full diversity efforts.
I’m currently building a data-centric platform that will help companies identify unconscious bias in employee pay, promotion, and retention so future applicants can feel confident their employer will nurture their talent, not bias.
I have 10+ years in the diversity industry, and just left my job to build this startup. Would love the opportunity to be part of this community & conversation.
