I wanted to know, does your workplace work for ALL women? I really wasn’t interested in how many women sat on the board or the mentoring programmes available to get women up there. One of the things I looked for was, how friendly were the organisations to real women’s lives? Did these companies acknowledge that women juggled work and families in a patriarchal system and society that judges women heavily? Last year I judged the UN WEP Awards (United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles) for Malaysian organisations and individuals.
Who looked after them so he could be in the office by 6am? Who sent them to school? Gender Equity Those who can step out for a latte at 3pm without question, have privilege.Īnd this is where the kicker is, he would be home by 4.30 so he could spend time with his kids. Not everyone can step out of the office without a middle manager barking, where is she?! Not everyone can afford a nice latte outdoors. For me at least, I would disappear if stressed, to the nearest coffee place 5 minutes walk away. Wellbeing at work is a focus now and it’s important that employees are able to find spaces and time to relax in the middle of a hectic workday. Does that include lunch meetings? How are other colleagues with this? Do they just go along with it because, hey, would you dare question the boss? Then he mentioned he worked through lunch. In my groggy state I wondered, does he not worry about his hair or make up? How close does he live to the office? No traffic, access to fabulous public transport? How he woke up at 5am and was at the office by 6am. This morning, very early I might add - not because I was following a Bill Gates productivity tip, but because we have a heatwave here in Britain and I couldn’t sleep - I read a post by a LinkedIn connection. On paper at least.Įquality laws and policies work well when everyone starts from the same starting line. Many of you work in organisations which have equality policies and forbid any form of discrimination. Sure, many of you reading this live in countries where there is equality - except if you’re a woman in the USA with no national gender equality laws. What if you were disabled or LGBTQ+? What if you came from a working class background and just didn’t have the educational or socio-economic opportunities someone with wealth or connections might have? It’s even harder for people who are not of the power dominant race. They suggest that if we did exactly what they do, we can be CEOs too. So let’s get back to these talented CEOs and leaders so keen to share their productivity tips with us. If we had their start, we could be running an Amazon too. What is Bill Gates secret to becoming a multimillionaire? Elon Musk? Jeff Bezos? Well we all know they came from money. Now ten, even five years ago, these were seen as inspirational tips. You might even guess who the actor is - I think he said this in a Sunday Times interview.
Yes, I am paraphrasing but each of these examples are real. Florida employees can choose to be exempt from private employer vaccine mandates.LinkedIn is filled with well meaning posts by men who call themselves leaders with “ well here’s how I made it” or “ how I became CEO by 30 with 4 kids” or “ 6 tips shared by successful CEOs” or “ how I became an A-list actor and get out of the house in just 10 minutes”. Private employers are prohibited from mandating COVID-19 vaccines for employees without opportunity for the employees to obtain an exemption. Violations for public employers can be reported to the Florida Department of Health through. Public employers, including educational or governmental institutions, are prohibited from imposing COVID-19 vaccination mandates. The Florida Department of Health is working alongside the Office of the Attorney General to oversee compliance with these laws. On November 18, 2021, Governor DeSantis signed legislation that outlines exemption requirements for COVID-19 vaccination mandates.
