Eight in 10 tech companies now offer formal gender diversity training programs, a number that's been increasing steadily upward for the last three years as companies face criticism from investors, employees and the public to address the issue.

Gender diversity training programs have become almost as common as Ping-Pong tables and free snacks at tech offices.

"You need a systemic, sustainable approach," says Sara Taylor, president and founder of deepSEE Consulting, which provides diversity and inclusion training for organizations."Check-the-box training is not going to make a difference." "Aggressive recruiting goals don't matter much if the people you hire don't feel represented and supported," says Square spokeswoman Samantha Verdile.

For example, a company might say that 25 percent of the members of a hiring panel this year need to have completed gender diversity training, Taylor says. That number might go up to 75 percent by next year and 100 percent in three years. The company's not requiring that employees take the training, but those who want to be on the hiring panel will choose to do so.

As employees take part in the training, they've been discussing their experiences with colleagues, prompting them to sign up as well. "You have to invest in this forever," Pentland says."It's not something you get a certificate for and then you're an expert."

Someone should put a laugh track behind Jamie Dimon’s testimony about all of JP Morgan’s “nickels” they threw back to the US taxpayer’s bailout of their leveraged financial schemes. Dimon: “We’re so proud of the park bench we built in Compton with our Billions in profit” 🙄

This picture actually shows a gender imbalance towards men. Is this the goal?
