summary
Company-level tactics and failures: a tech workplace grew from 75 to 550 employees so scale matters, HR reports target 11% women in leadership and stops there, pronoun buttons are fine but only after securing transgender-inclusive healthcare and training, successful moves come from prioritized lists, quiet coordinated allies and affinity-group actions like a women's-group Q&A, measureable wins include adding “or equivalent experience” to degree language and creating a full-time Diversity and Inclusion role that gets filled by a woman of color.
