Ensuring Gender Equity in the Workplace with Kelsey Pytlik and Rachel Bauer

Oct 24, 2023

In a world where organizations are striving to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, this episode of Transform Your Workplace explores why it’s essential for leaders to acknowledge and address disparities when it comes to gender. Guests Kelsey Pytlik and Rachel Bauer of Gild Collective shed light on the fact that women are still leaving companies at alarming rates post-pandemic, primarily due to a lack of supportive workplace practices and policies after recruitment. Tune in and learn more about how you can provide adequate support to retain your top female talent.

 

TAKEAWAYS

  • Empathy is a critical soft skill for driving change, interrupting bias, and implementing equitable workplace systems.

  • While many companies initially embraced diversity and inclusion efforts, resistance and a desire to return to the status quo can hinder their progress.

  • Acknowledging and addressing personal biases is challenging, but awareness can lead to meaningful change.

  • Women face unequal treatment at work, requiring a shift in how organizations address these disparities.

  • Because diverse perspectives drive innovation, companies with greater gender and ethnic diversity tend to outperform their competitors.

  • Organizations should avoid one-size-fits-all approaches and instead tailor gender equity initiatives to their specific needs.
