Identify opportunities to create equity

Data may reveal gaps in such things as women or people of color in leadership. But policies and processes perpetuate inequities and changing them will help bridge those gaps, too.

For instance, we looked at our job descriptions and found that the use of words like "strong" spoke more to men than to women. We dropped requirements for years of service because it measured time versus skills. We changed job descriptions as we found that white men applied if they had just a third of job requirements but that Black women didn't apply unless they had almost all of them.
