@amydiehl@mstdn.social Related: one of the highest-impact interventions for addressing promotional velocity differences is equal paternity and maternity leave. When the expectation that parenthood will cause equal amounts of time off for both parents, it rapidly stops being a gender-specific worry for managers. A few countries have done this and provided empirical evidence that it works.
