嗨,我是Na'Tosha! 我在Unity的研发部门担任工程工具负责人,并 撰写 和 推特 各种事情。 我最热衷的问题之一实际上是一个社会问题:我们如何提高技术组织中女性的比例。 (Hi, I’m Na’Tosha! I work as Lead of Engineering Tools in R&D here at Unity, and I write and tweet about various things. One of the issues I’m most passionate about is actually a social issue: how we can increase the prevalence of women in technical organizations.)
When I was at GDC back in March, I talked to several developers who were all running into the same problem: they wanted the development teams in their studios to be more diverse, particularly in terms of increasing the number of women on their teams, but they didn’t know how to make it happen.
三月份我在GDC时,我与几个遇到相同问题的开发人员进行了交谈:他们希望工作室中的开发团队更加多样化,尤其是在增加团队中女性人数方面,但是他们不知道如何实现。
It’s a hard problem, no doubt. You can’t force diversity of any kind – or, well, you can try to, but you’re probably not going to end up with a maintainable result. This is because diversity is actually just an outcome – it’s a byproduct of a healthy organization. While it’s true that you can’t just make diversity happen, you can encourage it to grow by focusing on making your studio as inclusive as possible.
毫无疑问,这是一个难题。 您不能强迫任何形式的多样性,或者可以尝试,但是最终可能不会得到可维护的结果。 这是因为 多样性实际上只是结果 –它是一个健康组织的副产品。 的确,您不仅可以实现多样性,还可以通过专注于使工作室尽可能具有包容性来鼓励这种增长。
While there’s no authoritative answer regarding how to increase inclusivity in a workplace, since we at Unity have recently launched a series of “Women in Gaming” workshops, I thought it would be timely to share some of the tips I think work best.
关于如何增加工作场所的包容性,目前尚无权威性的答案,但自从我们Unity 最近启动了一系列“游戏中的女性”讲习班 以来 ,我认为现在应该分享一些我认为最有效的技巧。

Review your wording — everywhere! How do your job descriptions read? Do they encourage only “rock stars” to apply? Statistically, most developers are average – most of us fall into that fat part of the bell curve. Additionally, many of the best engineers, those that do fall into that tiny, desirable sliver of the bell curve, often suffer from impostor syndrome – they won’t self-identify as rock stars.
随时随地查看您的措辞! 您的职位描述如何阅读? 他们是否只鼓励“摇滚明星”申请? 从统计上讲,大多数开发人员 是 中等水平的–我们大多数人都属于钟形曲线中最胖的部分。 此外,许多最优秀的工程师(确实会陷入钟形曲线的那细小,可取的一小部分)经常患有 冒名顶替综合症 -他们不会自认是摇滚明星。
Do your job descriptions have long wishlists of “required” skills that are nearly impossible for a single person to fulfill? You may have heard this statistic before, but it’s worth mentioning again: men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women hold back unless they meet 100% of them.
您的职位描述中是否包含很长的“必修”技能清单,而这几乎是一个人无法实现的? 您可能之前已经听说过这种统计数据,但是值得再次提及: 男人仅在满足60%的资格时才申请工作,但是女性会保留,除非他们达到100%的资格 。
Putting these two together: by using exclusive language and/or unrealistic requirements in your job descriptions, you can inadvertently miss out on a big, viable portion of your candidate pool. Instead, focus on only the few actually required skills, and spend the rest of the posting talking about how the candidate will make an impact within the team and organization. Instead of appealing to “rock stars”, help candidates fit themselves into the role.
将这两者放在一起 :通过在工作描述中使用排他性语言和/或不切实际的要求,您可能会无意中错过候选人库中很大的,可行的部分。 取而代之的是,只专注于几个 实际 需要的技能,然后在其余的帖子中谈论候选人如何在团队和组织中产生影响。 帮助候选人适应角色,而不是吸引“摇滚明星”。

Look for biases in your hiring processes. An important element to focus on here is making sure that you don’t have a homogenous sourcing pipeline. Logically, if you don’t have a diverse set of inputs to your hiring process, you won’t have a diverse output. Make sure your job listings are not only posted in the usual areas, but actively circulated among forums and mailing lists for minority-oriented organizations and user groups. Make sure you are working with the right recruiters, preferably ones who emphasize and have experience with building diverse teams. You don’t want anyone inadvertently screening qualified applicants out of your candidate pool before you even get to see the applications.
在招聘过程中寻找偏见。 这里要重点关注的一个重要因素是确保您没有同质的采购渠道。 从逻辑上讲,如果您在招聘过程中没有各种各样的输入,那么您就不会有各种各样的输出。 确保您的工作清单不仅发布在通常的区域,而且要在面向少数群体的组织和用户群体的论坛和邮件列表中积极分发。 确保您正在与合适的招聘人员合作,最好是那些强调并拥有建立多元化团队经验的招聘人员。 您不希望任何人在不看申请表之前就无意中将合格的申请者从候选人库中筛选出来。

Avoid hiring exclusively from the network of people you and your employees already know. This is such an easy trap to fall into. After all, hiring people we know is so much more comfortable, right? We already know them. We’ve adjusted to their personality quirks, and we’re familiar with their strengths and weaknesses. But, given the choice, we, as humans, tend to pick friends who are similar to ourselves. So if we hire only from our own networks, we end up hiring more people like us and making our networks even more homogenous as they grow.
避免仅从您和您的员工已经认识的人员网络中招聘人员。 这是一个容易陷入的陷阱。 毕竟,雇用我们知道的人要舒服得多,对吗? 我们已经认识他们了。 我们已经适应了他们的性格怪癖,并且熟悉他们的长处和短处。 但是, 只要 有选择, 我们作为人类,往往会选择与我们自己相似的朋友 。 因此,如果我们仅从自己的网络中招聘,最终将雇用更多像我们这样的人,并且随着他们的成长,我们的网络将变得更加同质。

Review your benefits. People from different demographics have different needs in their working environments. How do you handle maternity leave or religious holidays? Do you have flexible working hours, flexible dress code, etc.? Your compensation package and company policies can be excellent ways to demonstrate your support of a diverse workforce. A great starting point is simply to ensure (and advertise!) flexible working hours for employees to deal with family or personal matters.
查看您的收益。 来自不同人群的人们在工作环境中有不同的需求。 您如何处理产假或宗教节日? 您是否有弹性的工作时间,弹性的着装要求等? 您的薪酬待遇和公司政策可能是证明您对各种员工的支持的绝佳方法。 一个很好的起点只是确保员工灵活的工作时间(并做广告!),以处理家庭或个人事务。

Brand your organization as an organization supportive of diversity. If you have the resources, you can launch your own diversity initiatives. Start with a small, one-day conference, or even just a social event — but make sure to advertise the event in the communities for your target demographics.
将您的组织打造成支持多元化的组织。 如果您有资源,则可以启动自己的多样性计划。 从一个小型的为期一天的会议开始,甚至只是一个社交活动-但要确保在社区中为您的目标人群宣传该活动。
Even if you don’t have the resources to launch your own diversity initiatives, your studio can still support diversity by being vocal about supporting others’ initiatives. You can also offer your workspace as a meetup location for local user groups or organizations geared towards bringing minorities in the tech world together.
即使您没有资源来启动自己的多元化计划,您的工作室仍然可以通过大声疾呼支持他人的计划来支持多元化。 您还可以将工作区作为聚会场所,供旨在将技术界中的少数群体聚集在一起的本地用户组或组织使用。
I can’t guarantee that doing these 5 things will improve the diversity of your team, but I can guarantee that each one contributes toward an environment in which it can blossom and flourish.
我不能保证做这5件事会改善您团队的多样性,但是我 可以 保证每个人 都能 为自己的事业 蓬勃发展做出贡献。
