Inclusion benchmarking for women in tech, while aimed at promoting diversity, can inadvertently emphasize gender stereotypes. When companies focus on meeting specific benchmarks, there's a risk that women are seen only as numbers to fulfill quotas rather than as valuable, individual contributors. This perception can reinforce the stereotype that women in tech are less skilled and need special treatment to succeed, undermining their achievements and perpetuating a cycle of bias.
