Keys to becoming CEO: Communication and curiosityOver the next few years, Homara worked her way up from being the office manager. Homara is part of the board of directors for the Silicon Valley chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction, and she's communications chair for Women Construction Owners and Executives. Women have made strides in the construction field since 2016, when they comprised 12.5% of the industry. For example, Homara says one of the biggest misconceptions is what construction is "dirty, dusty and heavy" work, but not all construction jobs are labor intensive. In 2020, roles like construction laborers, carpenters and electricians made up 3 in 5 construction jobs.

In 2019, that picture looked quite different: 29% of new business owners were women, according to Gusto. The US Census does not break out new business formation by gender, and the most recent available data on women-owned businesses is from 2021. The business growth and the community impact garnered her a Young Entrepreneur Award from the US Small Business Administration. Filling the (skilled trades) gapYelp also found that in 2023, women opened more new home services businesses than beauty businesses. “There has absolutely been an uptick in interest over the last few years in this [skilled trades] work” by women, Perez said.

☆ Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender
  + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
New York CNN —Lyft is introducing a new feature that lets women and non-binary riders choose a preference to match with drivers of the same gender. Both the riders and drivers will need to opt-in to the feature for it work and riders must chose a gender for it to work. Although women encompass “nearly half” of its riders, Lyft said that just 23% of its drivers are women, the company said. Lyft and its rival Uber have been under scrutiny for years about riders’ safety, especially with sexual assault incidents. However, Lyft said the vast majority of trips (or 99%) had no reported safety incidents for the time period included in its report.

☆ Increasing Law Department Diversity
  + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( Michelle Graham | Practical Law | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +17 min
Create a law department DEI committee consisting of diverse law department employees to:evaluate the law department’s DEI status; develop a plan and a budget to increase or maintain law department diversity; and monitor and promote the success of the law department’s DEI initiatives. Incentivize law department employees to refer diverse candidates for job openings by paying them a referral bonus if the law department hires those candidates. Retaining Diverse Law Department EmployeesWhile recruiting and hiring diverse employees for the law department requires continuous effort, retaining them once hired presents another challenge. Discuss initiatives the law department has taken to increase and maintain DEI in the law department, such as creating a DEI hiring committee. (For more on how law departments can improve DEI at their outside law firms, see Increasing Law Firm Diversity and Increasing Law Firm Diversity: Presentation Materials on Practical Law; for general guidance on working with outside counsel, see Working Effectively with Outside Counsel Checklist on Practical Law.)
