To ensure both men and women across large companies are promoted as well It is not easy. That is why Adam Grant, author and main working life expert at the Glassdoor Platform platform, says all employers should use the “login” model.
It means HR leaders He should assume that everyone in their society longs for promotion if they do not specifically say that they want to “unsubscribe” such opportunities, a grant said My colleague Sara Braun Va Recent conversation. This helps to ensure that everyone is considered to be promotional opportunities, not only those who speak or are more aggressive Pursuing the procedure.
“The fact is that in the organization the employer has many and many people – men and women – are afraid that if they crosses the border or ask for something that is perceived as justified or inappropriate, that it could endanger their relationships, their reputation and their job,” Grant said.
His advice is watching Grim New data From Glassdoor shows how many intimidated women are in terms of a higher salary. Only 36% of women feel comfortable and ask for an increase compared to 44% of men. Separate McKinsey studies They found that in terms of the first promotion, men lead a significant margin; For every 100 men, only 81 women are progressing in their organizations.
There is a research that backs up the wisdom of employers who create the system “Sign in”. The framework can remove some of the prejudices associated with promotional systems that tend to prefer those who are too self -confident or like competition – the disparity can lead to larger gender imbalances in leadership positions, according to 2021 studies Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). It has been found that the change to the system in which applicants are automatically registered can “reduce the gender gap in competition and support the rise of women to leading positions”.
Although the company does not completely improve its promotional framework, the grant says that the leaders must do a better job in order to highlight their employees regularly if the leadership positions are available.
“In the same way your mobile phone provider tells you that you are entitled to upgrade, we should be leaders and managers who are mainly addressing women, and saying,” Hey, you might be entitled to an increase. “”
