Many countries with progressive parental leave policies have increased their so-called daddy quotas, spurring new male parents to take more time off work.
TweetShareShare Despite decades of progress, true gender equality in the workplace remains elusive. Explicit wrongs like the wage gap demand action, but such headline-grabbing issues are only the tip of the iceberg. Implicit biases lurk below the surface, and the only way to uproot them is to pinpoint their source.
It’s worth re-evaluating your office environment for any built-in inequities. Are multiple working styles encouraged? What kinds of verbal and non-verbal communication does your office layout foster? Are certain facilities – quiet rooms, for instance – missing? Many countries with progressive parental leave policies have increased their so-called “daddy quotas,” spurring new male parents to take more time off work, bringing paternal and maternal leave into greater balance. This encourages moms and dads to divide parental duties more equitably – and it’s also a major benefit to women in the workplace.
During the 1970s, for instance, major orchestras noticed they had fewer than 5% women. But by 1997, that number jumped to 25%, and today some are in the high 30s. What changed? Orchestras began conducting blind auditions. Simply placing the performer behind a screen mitigated a great deal of inherent bias. One exception was the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which didn’t see a major shift until the orchestra instructed performers to remove their shoes before entering.
