Six actions companies can take to accelerate diversity
Focus on accountability and results
Have managers drive day-to-day change
Give employees the flexibility to fit work into their lives
Ensure hiring, promotions, and reviews are fair
Offer trainings geared towards making the workplace more diverse
Make a compelling case for gender diversity

gender diversity
