Overcoming Gender Bias at Work Overcoming Gender Bias at Work

A female engineering candidate is passed over because, "Women aren't good in STEM
fields." A male actuary is made fun of for crying at work over the death of a pet. A
nonbinary sales rep is told their gender expression is "odd." What do all of these
situations have in common? They're all examples of gender bias in the workplace. This
type of bias can affect people of any gender, and it's harmful to morale and your
company overall. In this course, we'll discuss how to overcome gender bias in the
workplace. We'll go over different forms of bias to look out for, we'll cover policies that
need to be reviewed and possibly changed, and we'll discuss how gender bias should be
handled, if it occurs.
