It is well-known that women make up a significantly smaller proportion of the technology workforce than men, yet globally organisations are struggling with finding talent in general.  Does your organisation employ any specific tactics to entice women into technology roles and if yes, what do they do and how successful has it been thus far?

no we are not using specific strategy but embrace the diversification, in my place, we have many woman that are sitting in some tech position for sometimes now
IT Manager in Transportation, 10,001+ employees
We run a campaign to encourage women to change their career path to a technical one. These are cycles of training and program presentations, where you can get acquainted with career development opportunities, familiarize yourself with the technology used and learn about the methodology of work in the IT department.

Well, the CSR wing is created for imparting education in STEM courses to females candidates exclusively. To my surprise, management took the decision for creating and sustaining this new wing for higher education promotion through sole efforts of females employees only and no male participation is subjected there. Also, the wing is running in full pace and of course the management has started some innovative practices which allows women to stick to the business and leads to greater retention. The menstrual leaves for women is one such initiative started last year and there is positive discussion around it so its all about good mouthing from your own people which results in building rapport and long lasting professional collaboration
IT Manager in Transportation, 10,001+ employees
Yes, we promote and support women in business by running special campaigns of articles , webinars and trainings to strengthen the culture.

Are short term bans of the use of GenAI applications and tools (such as ChatGPT) a good idea for end users in most organizations? For context see this article on the State of Maine Government's directive before you vote: https://www.govtech.com/artificial-intelligence/chatgpt-generative-ai-gets-6-month-ban-in-maine-government

Yes - Maine did the right thing. There are too many security risks with free versions of these tools. Not enough copyright or privacy protections of data.31%

No, but.... - You must have good security and privacy policies in place for ChatGPT (and other GenAI apps). My organization has policies and meaningful ways to enforce those policies and procedures for staff.52%

No - Bans simply don't work. Even without policies, this action hurts innovation and sends the wrong message to staff and the world about our organization.13%

I'm not sure. This action by Maine makes me think. Let me get back to you in a few weeks (or months).3%

I am increasingly having to present to our board and it’s not always the best experience. Do you have any advice on how best to approach a company board that is not technical at all?
