Can anyone give any examples on how HR can support diversity in a male-dominated industry?

I have worked in a male-dominated industry and I think HR can make a real difference. Things like bias-free job ads, clear promotion criteria, and real mentorship programmes matter more than slogans.

Having a supportive HR is vital in my opinion, as management should be monitoring interactions between staff.

I work in the construction industry and it's definitely an issue that's come up. Woman need to speak up and stand out. Eventually hopefully they'll catch up.

Management should be on the side lines monitoring interactions, rather than leaving it for a woman to speak up - especially if they’re left out on the sidelines.

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
