Supporting Gender Inclusivity in the Workplace
Call to Action: Men allies can be play an important role to fostering an inclusive workplace culture. The right policies alone cannot shift workplace culture – it’s critical that employees at all levels become part of the cause. Start with these five tips to challenge stereotypes, confront bias and leverage the expertise of your women and non-binary colleagues:
Challenge the “Likability Penalty”: When you hear a woman called “bossy” or “shrill,” request a specific example of what was done and challenge the assumption.
Give Credit Appropriately: When you introduce a woman or non-binary colleague, emphasize their accomplishments to counteract any preconceived notion about their competence.
Share Office Housework: Pay attention to who volunteers for different types of work and distribute office housework equally.
Make Work Work for Parents: Don’t assume mothers won’t be willing to take on challenging assignments or travel.
Mentor and Offer Equal Access: Find at least one woman or non-binary colleague in your organization to actively mentor or sponsor.
