Gender Inequality in the Workplace: The Fight Against Bias | Motivational Mondays [Video]

Do you know how to address gender bias in the workplace? What do you do if you see someone being stereotyped or discriminated against? Find out in this episode of Motivational Mondays and join the fight against gender discrimination.

Mitzi Short is an executive coach, speaker, co-founder and CEO of New Season Coaching & Consulting Group, and a founding member of The Band of Sisters. Mitzi is also co-author of You Should Smile More. She shares how you can help build gender equality in the workplace.

A lot of research has been done on gender bias but not on what to do when you come across it. It’s not just women who don’t know what to do, but also the bystanders. When Mitzi wrote her book, she sought to provide actionable insight for everyone on the spectrum. It’s not about shaming or blaming, it’s about building awareness and taking action.

Something needs to be done to address gender inequality. Men must help dismantle a society that treats women as less than equals. When you recognize that you’re creating gender bias — consciously or unconsciously — the next step is taking action. What can you do differently in your next meeting? Can you help someone make sure their voice is heard?

If you want to connect and relate to your consumers, you have to be able to relate to the people in your organization. You need people who represent your consumers in your business. Women must not only be represented in the workplace but must feel like their perspective is valued.

If women don’t feel like they belong, they’ll move to organizations who create an inclusive environment. Those are the organizations that will collect the talent and the ones that people want to show up for. As a leader, it’s your job to address sexism in the workplace and advocate for change.
