Unspoken Workplace Norms That Drive Gender Inequality

How do unspoken norms contribute to gender inequality in the workplace? In this course, you’ll hear from Dr. Jill Yavorsky, Associate Professor of Sociology and Organizational Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who will share her insights and experiences about the impact of workplace norms on gender equality. You’ll discover the disproportionate benefits ideal worker norms have on those without caregiving responsibilities, the negative effects of high work-hour expectations, and the importance of focusing on outcomes rather than hours worked. As you watch, you’ll have the opportunity to consider a new perspective on creating equitable work practices to expand your knowledge and guide your personal and professional development.
