Last month, we focused on what courageous steps organizations will have to take in response to emerging cultural shift reflected in movements that include “#MeToo” and “Times Up.” However, if meaningful culture change is going to ever happen, is too much of the national conversation focused on what companies need to do?
Littler Principal Cindy-Ann Thomas and Rockhurst University Communication Professor, Dr. LaKresha Graham consider the following:
• Why “Training Day” can’t be the only solution to changing dysfunctional gender dynamics and response cultures in the workplace
• The link between early gender-based socialization messages and the proliferation of sexism at work
• What and how other entities can work to preempt the various forms of gender-based disrespect that eventually show up at work.
If you would like to hear more from Cindy-Ann about this topic, she will be a Littler panelist on this year’s Executive Employer’s Diversity Summit.
