I was thinking about white males being privileged and it sounded ridiculous ( as a white male). Did you mean the opposite for diversity on the workfloor?

ISO certification mostly means that there are standards in place. Once it's implemented, you shouldn't notice it.
It's pretty important as soon as you want to do business with the governement.
- AdrianB1 5y agoThe ISO certification should tell there are standards that are in place; if they are just written on a piece of paper and never implemented ("nobody ever read"), the certification is worthless. In US if you are a black female if you apply and you can read and write, you are automatically hired. If you are a white male, you will not be even interviewed and if you are already in the company you will never get a promotion. In my (IT) department the past 10 year history is 10 to 1 promotions for female versus male. Over 40% of the organization is female (it was over 90% male 10 years ago, there are still some men left from old times) and in management it is over 60% with the target of 70% female. Unrealistic for a pure IT company, but very achievable for a very political non-IT company.
