The Limitations of Inclusion Metrics in Tech

Inclusion metrics are essential tools for measuring gender diversity, but they are not a panacea. The effectiveness of these metrics is often hampered by a lack of standardization and a focus on quantitative rather than qualitative data. This means that while companies might appear to improve gender diversity on paper, the reality might not reflect a truly inclusive or equitable environment. As a result, these metrics should be part of a broader, more holistic approach to promoting diversity.
