The belief that there are eternal and universal differences between the sexes is a popular one – but it\u2019s one that continues to underpin gender inequality and discrimination both in the workplace and beyond. This short course looks at the nature of gender bias and explains how it impacts on both individuals and organisations.
\nStudies have shown that contrary to common opinion, there are no differences at all in terms of women\u2019s and men\u2019s cognitive abilities. What\u2019s more, the gendered roles that today appear immutable have not always been so. History tells us that prior to the industrial revolution, men and women performed a wide range of mutually interchangeable roles, and even 100 years ago, jobs that today are seen as typically \u2018female\u2019 were done almost exclusively by men. Yet today\u2019s workplace is hampered more than ever by perceptions of gender-specific roles and broadly accepted \u2018norms\u2019 of gender behaviour – and organisations are suffering as a result.
\nIn this ground-breaking new course from Skill Boosters, Professor Binna Kandola and Dr Jo Kandola explain how today\u2019s gender inequality stems not from biology and evolution but from artificial social constructs and show how challenging gender bias can deliver huge benefits for both individuals and organisations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
