The Pipeline Excuse to Build A Diverse and Inclusive Team
The "pipeline excuse" is the most common term heard in building a diverse team.
In this episode, I speak to Michelle Gluaser (CEO of Techtonica) and we discuss
- What is diversity?
- How to measure it and what’s a realistic timeline/ metric to improvise on it?
- How to deal with "I am not finding candidates for the open roles to build a diverse team" excuse - and how can this be fixed?
- Finally I want to know the role of a hiring manager, HR organization and company’s leadership in fixing the pipeline excuse problem.
About Techtonica and Michelle:
Techtonica was started to break down the barriers into tech for the people who are most underrepresented in tech and most in danger of displacement by tech. Techtonica is a non-profit that provides tuition-free tech training to low-income women and non-binary adults and places them in positions at sponsoring companies that are ready to support more diverse teams. Support the cause to #BridgeTheTechGap? You can donate by going to https://techtonica.org/donate
Prior to founding Techtonica, she was a Community Developer at Twilio and held software engineering roles at Zana, Get Satisfaction and various other companies.
