Title: DIY Tech Inclusion

Description:

Well-funded tech companies are hiring consultants or high-level leaders to help them create inclusive work cultures. But if you don't have the budget for a consultant or a Chief Diversity Officer, we can walk you through some tried and true DIY steps to creating a more inclusive work environment. We will focus on the four pillars of workplace inclusion: hiring, retention, promotion, and culture. Whether you're a 4-person start-up or a 200-person international tech company, a CEO or an entry-level developer, our DIY guide will provide you with the tools to create a more inclusive environment that will benefit employees and an organization's bottom line.
