Impact and Challenges of DI Policies in Tech

Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) policies have made strides in promoting gender equity in the tech industry, yet challenges remain. These policies often encourage the hiring and retention of women through various strategies such as mentorship programs, gender-inclusive recruitment practices, and equitable promotion pathways. However, the effectiveness of these policies is sometimes limited by unconscious biases and a lack of genuine commitment at all organizational levels. Success also greatly varies between companies, with some making significant progress and others falling short, underscoring the need for comprehensive strategies and a sustained commitment to change.
