Episode notes

The certification is about moving beyond mindsets to mechanics. It's adjusting what we call cultural levers in the workplace. If you ask a woman to state her gender before she fills out a job application or it takes a skills test, she will perform worse than if you had not asked her that question first. A simple fix for this is just to move that gender checkbox to the end of the job application so that applicants aren't thinking about it.

There are more opportunities for women in the workplace today than there ever have been. But with stagnant wage gaps, limited parental leave, and enduring bias in recruitment, have modern businesses changed THAT much?? Gender equity expert Sara Sanford says there's work to do–and in this episode, she shares how she developed a certified playbook that helps companies use data-backed standards to fight gender bias. Tune in to hear why inclusive work requires that we change not just how people think, but also how the workplace operates.
