谷歌如何改变无意识的性别偏见 Google, like many tech companies, is a mans world. 和很多高科技公司一样，谷歌(Google)也是一家男性为主的企业。 Started by a pair of men, its executive team is overwhelmingly male, and its work force is dominated by men. Over all, seven out of 10 people who work at Google are male. 这家公司由两名男性创办，其高管团队绝大多数都是男性，而且公司员工也以男性为主。总体而言，在谷歌工作的人中，每十名就有七名是男性。 Men make up 83 percent of Googles engineering employees and 79 percent of its managers. In a report to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last year, Google said that of its 36 executives and top-ranking managers, just three are women. 在工程技术人员中，男性占83%；在管理人员中，男性占79%。去年，在向公平就业机会委员会(Equal Employment Opportunity Commission)提交的一份报告中，谷歌表示，其36名决策层和高层管理人员中，只有三名是女性。 Googles leaders say they are unhappy about the firms poor gender diversity, and about the severe underrepresentation of blacks and Hispanics among its work force. 谷歌高层表示，公司的性别多样性较差，而且雇员中黑人和西语裔的比例严重偏低，令他们感到失望。 And so they are undertaking a long-term effort to improve these numbers, the centerpiece of which is a series of workshops aimed at making Googles culture more accepting of diversity. 因此，他们正在开展一项长期性的工作，来改善这些数字，而其中最主要的部分，是一系列旨在提升谷歌文化多元性的研讨会。 Theres just one problem: The company has no solid evidence that the workshops, or many of its other efforts to improve diversity, are actually working. 只是有一个问题：该公司并没有可靠的证据表明，在提高多样性方面，这些研讨会以及诸多其他努力确实发挥了效用。 In some ways Googles plan to fix its diversity issues resembles many of its most ambitious product ideas, from self-driving cars to wiring the country for superfast Internet. 从某些方面来看，谷歌针对多样性问题开展的计划，类似于其很多雄心勃勃的产品项目——从研制无人驾驶汽车，到用超高速互联网连接全美。 Google says its plan isnt one-shot. It points out that it has been trying to improve its diversity for years by sponsoring programs to increase the number of women and minorities who go into tech, and meticulously studying the way it hires people in an effort to reduce bias. 谷歌表示，这个计划不是一次性的。公司指出，多年来，它一直试图提升内部的多样性，途径包括支持一些增加高科技界女性和少数族裔的项目，以及认真研究自己雇佣员工的方式，以减少偏见。 In May after pressure from civil right
