You can still disagree, but at least it will be an informed disagreement. Find the full report at womenintheworkplace.com. Here's a quick overview of some of the findings: • Companies are talking a good game when it comes to gender diversity, but employ- ees don't believe the hype. The study found that 74 per- cent of companies say gender diversity "is a top CEO pri- ority," but only about one- third of female employees think that's true. (About half of male employees believe the commitment is there.) • The professional net- works that men and women form at work are predictably different – male workers have primarily male networks and female workers have net- works made up mostly of women. "Given that men are more likely to hold leader- ship positions, women may end up with less access to senior-level sponsorship." About 60 percent of men reported that most of their career assistance has come from men, versus only 40 percent of women who say mainly men have helped them in their careers. • The report notes that women perceive gender bias as being an obstacle, and that alone can discourage female employees from trying to advance in a company. "Women not only observe a workplace biased against them; they believe they are disadvantaged by it. They are almost three times more likely than men to say they have personally missed out on an assignment, promo- tion, or raise because of their gender. Compared with men, women also report that they are consulted less often on important decisions. These dynamics help explain why women appear to advance at lower rates than their male peers." So what can be done? The report has far more detailed advice than I have room to relay, but a few suggestions stood out: • Check in regularly with the people you are managing and figure out "what is driv- ing their desire (or lack of desire) to advance. Unless you understand what is affecting women's ambitions, you cannot do anything to encourage them." • "Tap women and men equally to take on high-pro- file assignments and new opportunities, and push back if women say they're 'not ready' or 'not qualified.'" • Set up mentorship or sponsorship programs that will bring greater gender diversity to each employee's professional network. • Monitor your company's gender diversity by actually keeping track of what's hap- pening in terms of hiring, performance reviews and advancement, pay and attri- tion. As the report says, "It is hard to change what you do not measure." • Also, pay attention to the opinions and views of employees. The report identi- fied several key areas to watch: job satisfaction; per- ception of meritocracy; desire to advance to next level; desire to advance to top executive roles; and percep- tion of work/life balance. Numbers can help us iden- tify a problem. But the next step isn't action. It's learning. And understanding. Women in the Workplace 2015 is worth reading, regardless of your view on gender diversity. But it's also a fine example of the way workplace data should be presented – with context, clarity and information that lights the path to a solution. tech-savvy . . . from page 2 ERP ANALYST WELDERS 1st & 2nd Shift BRAKE PRESS OPERATORS 2nd Shift (Setup a Plus!)
