Despite our progress, we are still far from true gender equality.
) When women’s Employee Resource Groups engage male allies, they utilize positive peer pressure to spread a culture of accountability and inclusivity throughout the workplace and, ultimately, help drive towards more parity.by McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org states that unbiased hiring and promotion practices are critical to achieving gender equality. However, male respondents didn’t see fair hiring and promotion practices as key factors in helping women achieve equality.
In fact, 39% of respondents say they believe the best thing they can do to help advance gender equality is to advocate for women, while only 13% said promoting more women and 12% said hiring more women. Although a nice sentiment, “advocating for women” doesn’t define concrete actions that men can take to help at the root causes of gender inequality.
When directly asked what women can do to make it easier for men to be successful allies, half of all respondents said women should tell them what they can do to help. While this does seem to put the burden back on female employees, it also gives women the opportunity to direct company actions in a way that will best help them.
Women’s ERG leaders will have the opportunity to brainstorm and discuss ideas about how to work with male allies towards gender diversity at Fairygodboss’ third annualsummit. This year’s theme is Engaging Men As Allies, and notable speakers include Bozoma Saint John , Anne Chow , David Kenny , Jacqui Canney , and Joe Ucuzoglu .
Men say they’re willing to listen and want to help, so now is the time for women to speak up and men to show up. Attending women’s ERG events such as GALVANIZE can be a strong initial step towards making that happen.
