Challenging Gender Bias in the Workplace
In the podcast, the authors of the book 'You Should Smile More' discuss how women face microaggressions and gender bias at work. They emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing these small indignities, such as being told to smile more or facing gendered language. The authors highlight the need for 'micro-improvements' to create a more inclusive workplace culture, where women can be themselves without facing unfair judgments based on likeability. By advocating for diverse leadership styles and challenging biased feedback, they promote a more equitable environment for women in the workplace.
Promoting Equal Opportunities for Women
The podcast also touches on the lack of equal opportunities for women in hiring and promotions. Women often screen themselves out of opportunities and are not judged positively on their potential compared to men. Female executives and founders face challenges in gaining sponsors and funding. The discussion underscores the importance of actively promoting women, ensuring their ideas are valued, and creating a culture where access to leadership roles is genuinely equal for all genders.
Today, we hear from Angelique Bellmer Krembs, global head of brand at BlackRock, about the micro-offenses women encounter in the workplace and what we can do to dismantle them.
