Gaps in Policy Versus Practice in Tech Diversity

Though many tech firms boast comprehensive D&I policies, there's often a noticeable gap between policy and practice. The intention behind these policies may be genuine, but without effective implementation and accountability mechanisms, little real progress in gender equity is seen. For instance, if policies are not backed by sufficient resources or if there is no mechanism for tracking progress and holding leaders accountable, these efforts may not lead to meaningful change. This highlights the importance of not just having policies in place but ensuring they are actively and effectively implemented.
