In your proposal you must describe at least one of your ideas to address the hiring of more women and\/or creating a more inclusive environment for female employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.05em; line-height: 1.5em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">This issue of gender diversity and inclusion is complex, so no one idea, or even several, will completely solve this problem. However, your proposal should offer an idea or two to make a meaningful contribution to begin to address the specific situation at Monarchy Technology. Consider both sides but find ways to persuade your audience that your proposed solution is the best for this situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.05em; line-height: 1.5em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">External research is not required.
