Promote Inclusive Hiring Practices

To break the glass ceiling for women leaders in tech, companies must adopt and promote inclusive hiring practices. This involves creating job postings that appeal to a diverse candidate pool, using gender-neutral language, and ensuring the selection process is free from biases. Training hiring committees on unconscious bias and requiring a diverse slate of candidates for leadership roles can also help level the playing field.

It’s also about acceptance and overcoming our own internal 'sticky floors' first at work. She was right: we need to tackle these inner barriers before we can effectively address the external ones in the company and society—or at least be aware of that stickiness to be ready!
