HOW TO SUPPORT OTHER

WOMEN IN YOUR WORKPLACE According to one study, 70 percent of female executives feel as though they’ve been bullied by other female coworkers. They believe that these incidents have hurt their professional development. It’s high time to change the narrative and embody the change we hope to see in the workplace.

FOCUS ON FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS

BUILD A GENUINE NETWORK

Do you prioritize meetings, conversations, or even lunches with your female coworkers? If so, why not? Many of us already have too-busy schedules.

Don’t just foster relationships for the sake of networking. People are far more than what they can offer you.

BUILD OTHER WOMEN UP

BE EMPATHETIC AND FLEXIBLE

Be a great workplace ally. If you have the opportunity to mentor or sponsor a deserving female colleague, make sure to take that opportunity.

It is imperative that we be more compassionate about how this pandemic might be adversely or disproportionately impacting our colleagues.

In order to truly embrace equity as a value, organizations must not only compensate women fairly for their work, but also implement family-friendly policies that improve flexibility, provide for robust parental and leave options, and forge alternative, non-traditional paths to promotions.
