Copia de International Women’s Day 2020 | Prezi Video

Today, we are far from living in an equal and inclusive world.

At the current rate, it will take almost 100 years to close the gender gap.

We can’t wait that long!

We need to level the playing field

In government:

Women lead just 14 of 195 companies.

Around the world:

Women are paid 23% less globally.

In the boardroom:

Only 7% of Fortune 500 companies

are led by women.

Stats

Companies with more women in power perform better and have fairer family policies.

Diverse teams are more innovative, productive, and profitable.

Diverse and inclusive teams are more productive, engaged, and committed.

Diversity benefits everyone

Unconscious bias is no longer unconscious once you know inequality exists.

Equality hack:

Become conscious of your unconscious

Write down three practices in your company that possibly promote inequalities.

Check your bias

at the door

In meetings, men tend to sit front and center, while women tend to gravitate toward the end of the table and edge of the room.

Equality hack:

Make sure women’s ideas are heard.

Stop interruptions

Give credit

Leave space for other POVs

Amplify women’s

voices

A study of performance reviews revealed that

66% of women received negative feedback on

their personal style such as, “You can sometimes

be abrasive,” whereas 1% of men received that

same type of feedback.

Equality hacks:

Bias correct your language

Create alternatives for

bias-laced words.

Break the double-bind

Women are often given less credit for successful outcomes and blamed more

for failure.

Equality hacks:

Put Shine Theory into practice.

There's power in the pack.

Emphasize coworker successes.

Celebrate the accomplishments of women

While men get specific recommendations for improving their performance, women hear more generic feedback that’s harder to act on, such as “Good job” or “You need more presence in meetings.”

Equality hack:

Practice mentorship in the moment

Share feedback,

even if bite-sized.

Give specific feedback to women

Mentorship and sponsorship drive success, but unfortunately women —

and particularly women of color — miss out. In fact, 59% of black

women have never had a formal interaction with a senior leader at their company. Just read the latest Women in the Workplace Report,

which says that for every 100 men promoted and hired to manager,

just 72 women are promoted and hired. That first missed promotion

can affect women for the rest of their careers.

Equality hacks:

Know your worth.

Mentorship isn't about age - it's about action.

Use your influence to advocate for others.

Mentor and sponsor women

We all have the power to drive change and create a more equal world— what one action will you take?

“My #EachforEqual One Action for

this year is...:”

Bonus:

Post your #IWD2020 message on social media

so others can support #EachforEqual too.

Share one action

Now that you’re conscious of the various barriers women face and how these situations play out in your workplace, you’re ready to hack equality.

Once these simple steps become second nature, that’s when a culture shift happens.

A person alone has power; collectively, we have impact.
