[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from a Middle Eastern culture that's neither Arab nor Jewish (it's a pretty diverse region!) and I think the more you know about it, the less it makes sense to try to look at everything through the lens of race. The world is a lot more complicated than that. You're going to have a huge headache deciding who's "in."

My workplace doesn't particularly treat women as underrepresented though. [/quote]

Turkey? Iran?

Some industries historically have more women than men (teaching, nursing) and in that case there isn't as much emphasis on gender. But really what is looked at is the percent of underrepresented groups in different types of roles across the organization. I once worked at a company that was 76%women but when were only in like 20% of director level roles and above at the company. This would suggest is that the company is hiring women at lower levels and they are then not getting promoted into higher level roles, that women are leaving before being promoted into higher level roles, that the company is not hiring women into higher level roles, or all of the above. Is that concerning? I'm not the judge but investors want to see this information so someone thinks it's material. [/quote]
