Executive summary• This summer, Fairygodboss, an online career community for women, and Artemis Connection, a

consultancy that focuses on aligning strategy and team, were pondering a few important facts:• American corporations have recently instituted many changes to help promote gender diversity,

including everything from diversity targets, enhanced maternity leave and bias training to flying nannies.

• Conventional wisdom says that corporate change is best driven from the top down (see John Kotter, Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School)

• Nearly half of women on Fairygodboss say that women are not treated equally in their workplace• 33% of women on Fairygodboss say their experience “depends on the manager,” which suggests that

CEO initiatives are necessary but not sufficient • Managers are disproportionately male, so to make companies more gender diverse, we will have to change

the behavior of managers• We dove into research and found the MARC project at Catalyst, but not much else. Our questions were: Do

men think gender diversity in general is an issue? Is it an issue at their workplace? What do men think the barriers are? Do managers perceive different barriers than nonmanagers? This exploration was designed to clarifying these questions and add insight into the attitudes of men in the workplace, uncovering their motivations, hopes and concerns for the future of women in the workplace.

• So how to change the behavior of male managers?• To answer this question, we surveyed over 300 U.S. full-time working men. Our survey was not random, nor

was it intended to be. Most men were mid-to-late career and in a variety of industries including hi-tech and finance. We followed up with 31 interviews.

Here’s what we learned• “It’s a problem, just not where I work.” While a full one-third of men think

women are treated unfairly in the workplace in general, just 10 percent of respondents agree that women are treated unfairly in their workplace. In other words, the men we spoke to don’t believe that gender bias happens in their own backyard.

• “Diversity is a culture issue. There is no gender wage gap.” When asked what challenges women faced at work, men pointed toward an overall feeling of inclusion as the single biggest issue (by over 50 percent of respondents). Non-managers were more likely to cite mentorship (or lack thereof) and work/life balance.

• “I want to help, but it’s kind of awkward.” Less than half of men say they have advocated for equality, inclusion, and diversity publicly. A full one-fifth, however, admitted that they have not acted as an ally.

• Financial benefits• A recent Gallup study found that hiring a demographically diverse

workforce can improve a company's financial performance.1

• Team Performance• Gender-diverse teams perform better than single-gender teams.1

• Strong Leadership• Women outperform men on numerous leadership competencies.2

• Retention• Greater diversity is related to lower intent to leave.2

Why does gender diversity matter?

What can we do about this?• Get the facts: It would be powerful to run this survey at the company level, comparing women’s

experiences with men’s perspectives on these experiences and illuminating the gaps. In fact, companies should undertake this exercise of their own; the disparate results for women and men could serve as a provocative springboard for discussion. Even looking at engagement surveys on a more granular level could be impactful. Are there differences in what men and women say? What is happening at the middle manager level?

• Have honest conversations: In the absence of a comparative survey, men should simply ask their female colleagues, and especially their female direct reports, about the barriers they face at work and how to work together to overcome them. Men might be surprised by not only the variety of proposed solutions but also the rank-ordering of them. They may find, for example, that one woman simply wants a clearer path to promotion, while another wants to work from home one day a week.

• Lead and hold people accountable: Leaders drive culture, decide what metrics matter, and model what is expected. A commitment from the top to building a diverse, inclusive workplace is not enough—managers must be held accountable.

• Train managers: Managers truly matter. Research out of Stanford highlights when people are assigned to better bosses, they are less likely to leave the firm. The first year as a manager is key for developing skills and habits. It is best if the training is on-the-job, not a carve out or webinar that is easy to forget or deem irrelevant.

• Do, learn, iterate:  Finally, at an organization level, companies should continue to experiment with different approaches, or at least dialogues, to pinpoint their firms’ unique gender-related strengths and challenges. Organizations around the world follow in Google’s footsteps: if you were to apply their philosophy here, you would be data driven in regards to diversity and human capital while concurrently realizing that people and human interactions are unpredictable. Despite the mixed effectiveness of these activities, learning and experimenting with new approaches to improve women’s inclusion at work, and men’s active participation in these efforts, is vital to achieving a better workforce.

Respondents who thought women faced problems in the workplace suggested a number of reasons why they want change

Diverse ideas, whether that's race, gender, or just perspective leads to more innovative ideas.Because women in the workplace adds value to business and provides unique perspective.Diversity gives us diversity of perspective, which is a force-multiplier.

It is the right thing to do. It is strategically critical to our ability to compete for skilled employees of all backgrounds, genders, etc.For me, it's an issue of fundamental fairness. Gender should have nothing to do with how people are treated or compensated in the workplace. I want my daughters to join a workforce that will value what they contribute. I want my son to value the contributions of others. [The] better women feel about our company the more talent options we have to increase the strength of our workforce.Women can contribute just as much, if not more than men in the workplace. We should strive to make them want to work with us.Can't be successful of 1/2 our employees are not treated fairly. Also want a better future for my daughter.

Diverse experiences and mindsets offer value that can't otherwise be captured. An inclusive and diverse workplace is more productive, creative and valuable one. Level playing field is best for business.

Diversity of perspectives creates a stronger workplace, and a stronger society. Mono cultures breed stagnation and loss.It's tough to keep a team functioning well when members of it feel like their contributions are not being as valued or compensated.Women have different needs than men. Any place that hires women has a responsibility to recognize that. Women are about 50% of the population and if they don't want to work where I work, we miss a lot of the talent pool.I have daughters in the workplace and don't want them to have to deal with gender inequality, especially in regrard [sic] to pay equality.Because I've worked for and with strong, intelligent women my whole professional life and know what their influence can mean.As a white male I don't have visibility into women being treated unfairly, but if they are it is important that it be addressed.

Qualitative interview responses provided similar themes to the same questions as the online survey, with a few interesting points

N = 52

• Having women involved early on and focusing on diversity makes a huge difference in shaping a more equitable environment• “Women have been involved since the formation of the company which is why

some things like childcare centers with Patagonia employees running them is just done, even if the business case isn't there.” – Patagonia employee

• Men do not appreciate the cliques that happen in the workplace amongst men (e.g. being a bro), but they feel like they need to participate 

• Human sustainable workplaces, such as where people work fewer hours, are focused on results rather than politicking, or everyone has flexibility, tend to have more gender equity

When looking at the responses from those that provided contact information, we found these men tend to be far more aware of gender/diversity issues and more active in trying to solve them

N = 52

• Far more likely to agree that women face more challenges than men in the workplace.• Just one says that it is NOT important to fix these issues. • 43 percent disagree that women are treated fairly in the workplace, compared with 32 percent

of the total sample.• 56 percent believe there is gender bias in their workplace, compared with 35 percent of total

sample.• 20 percent say sexual harassment occurs in their workplace, compared with 15 percent of

total sample.• When asked both about what challenges women face, as well as what solutions there may be,

we see very similar results in terms of the “ranking” of these challenges/solutions. However, we see each challenge/solution to be more pronounced (~10 percent + more per challenge/solution).

• 72 percent believe it is very important to fix these problems (vs. 58 percent), and 22 percent say it is somewhat important (vs. 30 percent ).

• More likely than the total sample to have been an ally to advancing women’s inclusion in the work and addressing challenges that women face at work.

• Near even split of managers/non-managers (55 percent /45 percent ).
