ClickHouse is celebrating International Women's Day by reflecting on the theme of #BreakTheBias, which aims to imagine a world free from bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. Two women, Maria Zhang and Caryn Marooney, shared their past experiences with bias, how trends are changing, and offered practical tips for companies and teams to form cultures of inclusion and belonging. They emphasized the importance of recognizing and challenging microaggressions, rotating responsibilities, and asking uncomfortable questions to ensure equal opportunities. Maria also highlighted the need for unconscious bias training and tracking mechanisms to drive visibility and awareness around inclusion. The conversation touched on the benefits of skills-based hiring, the impact of traditional caretaking roles carried by women, and the power of embracing one's true self to become a better leader.
