The  10  Commandments  of  Gender  Balancing  by  Avivah  WiIenberg-­‐Cox  

1.   Make  it  strategic.  Make  it  a  business  issue,  not  a  women’s  issue  or  a  diversity  issue.

The  10  Commandments  of  Gender  Balancing  by  Avivah  WiIenberg-­‐Cox  

2.  Make  it  balanced.  Focus  on  the  ra@o  of  women  AND  men,  not  just  the  percentage  of  women  in  all  metrics  and  KPIs.

3.  Make  targets  neutral.  Aim  for  an  acceptable  ra@o  for  both  genders,  not  just  women,  e.g.  a  minimum  of  40  percent  of  EITHER  gender  across  ALL  func@ons.

4.  Make  managers  gender  bilingual.  Train  ALL  managers,  men  and  women,  to  be  skilled  in  managing  across  genders  (just  as  you  equip  them  to  be  competent  across  cultures).

5.  Make  managers  accountable.  ShiV  accountability  for  progress  on  gender  balancing  to  managers  of  teams,  rather  than  on  individuals

6.  Celebrate  “bilingual”  competence.  Most  companies  make  a  lot  of  noise  about  the  women  they  promote.  Also  celebrate  the  managers  who  iden@fied,  developed  and  promoted  them  —  that’s  where  the  skills  are  lacking  today.

The  10  Commandments  of  Gender  Balancing  by  Avivah  WiIenberg-­‐Cox  

7.  Embed  flexibility.  Measure  output,  not  input.  Let  high  performers  work  where  and  when  they  want,  as  long  as  they  deliver.  Forget  work/  life  for  women;  create  flexibility  for  all  and  help  managers  manage  flexible,  virtual  teams.

The  10  Commandments  of  Gender  Balancing  by  Avivah  WiIenberg-­‐Cox  

8.  Make  careers  flexible,  too.  Adapt  linear,  unbroken,  up  or  out  career  paaerns  to  recognize  mul@ple  career  paths.  If  you  iden@fy  all  your  high-­‐poten@al  talent  between  30  and  35,  you  are  likely  excluding  women  and  a  growing  number  of  men.  

Page 15: Good practices in gender equality in the workplace

The  10  Commandments  of  Gender  Balancing  by  Avivah  WiIenberg-­‐Cox  

9.  Never  say  the  word  “women.”  dump  the  old  language  and  become  truly  bilingual  and  inclusive  of  both  men  and  women.  Replace  the  common  “women  in  leadership,”  “asser@veness  training  for  women,”  “coaching  and  mentoring  for  women”  with  a  focus  on  balance,  talent  or  customers  —  and  ensure  that  all  your  development  programs  are  balanced  within  your  target  range  now.  

Page 16: Good practices in gender equality in the workplace

The  10  Commandments  of  Gender  Balancing  by  Avivah  WiIenberg-­‐Cox  

10.  Stop  accusing  men.  Stop  running  workshops  called  “unconscious  bias,”  “discrimina@on”  or  “stereotyping.”  Posi@on  gender  balancing  as  a  business  opportunity;  you’ll  find  both  men  and  women  enthusias@cally  geeng  on  board.

• Hierarchical structure

• Work is a place you go to

• Separation of career and life

•  Linear, vertical career paths

•  Individual contributor driven

•  Tasks define the job

• Many workers are similar  

The Corporate Ladder is splintering and the Corporate Lattice is emerging. The differences are...

•  Flatter, matrixed structure

• Work is what you do

•  Integration of career and life

• Multi-directional career paths

•  Team and community driven

• Competencies define the job

• Many workers are different
