Gender De-Biasing Solutions
What if all workplaces were gender equitable?
Workplaces around the world share common challenges. Many have policies or other processes to ensure equality and inclusivity – yet women, in particular, continue to experience biases. This may include gendered pay gaps, limited opportunities for promotion or professional development or a work culture that is not conducive to caregivers.
Some organizations continue to lack policies that address the needs of women. Even when those policies are in place they may not be consistently implemented.
Often women are not involved in decision-making or program design. Gender biases not only impact the staff of these organizations but can also reduce the effectiveness of the programs or services being delivered.
To effectively tackle gender bias, we need to rethink how we approach the problem. Standard workplace gender awareness trainings are insufficient on their own to make a lasting difference. A better approach is to redesign our workplaces so that biases are not able to operate.
