[Read the blog.]( NOTE FROM THE EDITOR International Women's Day is an occasion for us to step back and look at how far the technology industry has come — and how far it has to go. Our sister publication HR Dive this week highlighted how the wage gap for [women in STEM has narrowed, but still persists](. There are reports of promotion bias, too, survey respondents said. CIO Dive Reporter Lindsey Wilkinson also found that women in tech are up [against a toxic workplace culture](, and many plan to leave their jobs this year. I wish I could tell you there's an easy solution to reaching gender equity in the technology workplace. Change requires intention and follow-through. HR Dive found mentorship can help, too. One takeaway: It's getting better. Lindsey's story shows the vast majority of women in tech say their experience, as it relates to gender equity and inclusion, improved in the last year.
