While companies have made efforts to diversify their talent pools, studies have shown that women and Black employees are underrepresented in technical positions. The benefits of more diverse work forces have been well documented, but progress has been halting and often disappointing even with the best of intentions. While there are no easy fixes, a series of practices is emerging that are showing signs of success in addressing the diversity gap, giving companies an opportunity to rethink how companies approach their talent strategy, according to McKinsey's Kathryn Kuhn, Eric Lamarre, Chris Perkins, and Suman Thareja. In a new article, they lay out seven practices to help find and keep diverse tech talent. Give it a read to learn how to break through on this critical topic.  Mining for tech-talent gold: Seven ways to find and keep diverse talent A wealth of diverse tech talent is available, if companies expand their approach to hiring them.

[CNN] Thomas's appearance before the committee was voluntary. According to committee members, she answered "some" of the panel's questions but continued to falsely insist the 2020 election was stolen. [CBS News / Caroline Linton and Melissa Quinn] The committee wanted to speak with Thomas about her involvement in Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Questions first arose after Thomas sent messages to then-chief of staff Mark Meadows urging him not to concede victory. [NBC News / Summer Concepcion, Haley Talbot, and Ali Vitali] Thomas also communicated with Trump lawyer and adviser John Eastman. Eastman drew up a plan to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence into rejecting electoral votes from states Joe Biden won. [NPR / Deirdre Walsh and Claudia Grisales] Thomas has insisted that there's no conflict of interest with her husband's work. However, her activism has prompted calls for Justice Thomas to recuse himself from cases involving January 6. [USA Today / Bart Jansen] Meanwhile, the House committee investigating January 6 postponed its final hearing this week because of Hurricane Ian.

Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said Thursday the flow of Russians into the country threatened Finland's international relations. [Axios / Ivana Saric] The ban aims to prevent Russian tourism and travel through Finland, which shares an 830-mile border with Russia. However, Russians can still enter the country to visit family, work, or study. [Associated Press] Meanwhile, Sweden discovered a new leak in the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea on Thursday. It's the fourth rupture found in what EU leaders believe was an act of sabotage. [Guardian / Philip Oltermann] MISCELLANEOUS At least 2.5 million Floridians were without power Thursday, a day after Hurricane Ian brought widespread destruction and catastrophic flooding to the state.
