Software such as Gender Decoder (genderdecoder.katmatfield.com/) can be used to detect language biases in written text. To improve D&I at work, it could be used to filter job adverts, websites and organisational documents, etc. The software was piloted by the school of one of the authors of this book using a typical job advert. Interestingly, terms such as ‘leadership’ were highlighted as being problematic, because they could deter women from applying. What do you think about this and the use of such software? How might changes to the language used by organisations influence their recruitment of talent and their D&I?
