Why Male Tech Workers Dont See the Gender Gap

Why Male Tech Workers Don’t See the Gender Gap No wonder tech’s diversity problem isn’t going away. According to data released by PayScale and featured Sunday in a South by Southwest panel on perceptions of gender equity in the workplace, fewer male tech workers think their industry has a gender bias problem than workers in other industries, despite the continual publication of reports to the contrary. Which is not to say that the majority of men in the workplace think there’s a gender problem at all. The survey found that 67% of male workers say the sexes have equal opportunities in most workplaces, compared with just 38% of female workers. The discrepancy among those in the technology industry was starker: 66% of male techies think the opportunities are equal across the board, compared with just 30% of female tech workers. When it comes to their own workplaces, a full 80% of male tech workers believe men and women have equal opportunities, while only 44% of female tech workers felt the same way. The data on the gender gap in tech has been consistently clear: At top companies like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft, women make up less than 30% of the workforce, according to an August report, despite efforts by the companies to bridge the gender gap. For engineering positions, the percentage is significantly lower than that. So why are male workers so clueless? Aubrey Bach, a senior manager at PayScale, says the 30% threshold is tough for tech companies to break, because it’s just high enough for men to consistently see women around the office and in meetings, which may skew their perception of how many women are actually working in the industry. “As human beings we tend to look at things from our perspective … I think for a lot of people this data is a little bit shocking,” Bach says. “What I would challenge men to do is switch your perspective: What if you were the only man in every meeting you were in? It would suddenly feel very strange.” Video Player is loading.Play VideoPlayMuteCurrent Time  0:00/Duration  0:00Loaded: 0%Stream Type  LIVESeek to live, currently playing liveLIVERemaining Time  -0:00  SharePlayback Rate1xChaptersChaptersDescriptionsdescriptions off, selectedCaptionscaptions settings, opens captions settings dialogcaptions off, selectedAudio TrackFullscreenThis is a modal window.Beginning of dialog window.

Men, who make up an even higher percentage of management positions, perpetuate the status quo not because they are actively discriminating against women, notes Bach, but because of unconscious bias. You can’t fix a problem if you don’t realize it’s a problem to begin with. “This data should be the tipping point to make employers finally realize the importance of providing women the same professional support and opportunities that men receive throughout their careers, especially in highly competitive fields like tech,” says Liz Morgan, a recruiting lead for Linkedin and a member of the SxSW panel. While presenting facts and figures is a great first step to combating the problem, male allies can help their female colleagues push further, even if they’re not in a hiring position. Bach recommends speaking up in meetings if you think a female coworker is being treated unfairly, encouraging and publicly acknowledging a job well done, and/or letting HR or your manager know that you care about gender equity and think it should be addressed in the company’s hiring practices. If enough people speak up, it will make an impact, Bach says. “One of the best ways to address this problem is to just educate [people] about this,” says Bach. “If you can get people to realize that they have these beliefs and biases, it doesn’t mean they’re bad people, they may not even know. Just be an ally, there’s a huge amount anyone can do.”

Is Your Brain Stunting Your Career Growth - Work It Daily

Is Your Brain Stunting Your Career Growth - Work It Daily Do you constantly worry about failure? If so, part of your brain function could actually be hurting your career growth. A recent NY Times article explains why painful professional failure can (surprisingly) help a person achieve greater career success. How? It liberates them from the powerful control a part of their brain has which is obsessed with avoiding failure. Dang, That Sneaky Anterior Insula! In the article, Dr. Richard Peterson, a psychiatrist explains, “There is a part of the brain called the anterior insula, and that is where we process losses,” he said. “It creates a physical sensation of pain, and it also creates a sensation of disgust.” In short, we are so afraid to lose and have the anterior insula kick in and wreak havoc on our happiness, we use blind, unfounded hope and optimism to delay the inevitable: failure. Similar to losing money at the track, we think doubling down will solve our problems, when most of the time it leads to more debt. Solution: Move On To Your Next “At-Bat” The best part of the article is a quote by Michael Dearing, a Harvard Business School grad whose own experience with severe career failure liberated him professionally. He says,“I thought I had one shot to be successful. . . . I had no idea that my career â€" or anybody’s career â€" is actually a multi-round process and that you have many, many at-bats.” Too Scared To Swing? Try These Steps If fear of failure is stunting your career growth, consider these steps for freeing yourself from the debilitating effects of your brain’s anterior insula. 1. Assume You Will Fail Game over. What should you do next? Start to visualize life after career failure so you can identify the quickest way to get back on track. 2. Find Someone Who Has Failed Find someone who has failed in a similar way and has successfully moved on. Interview them about what they did to get back on track. It will not only make you feel better about your ability to move on, you will get valuable insight on the best way to do it. 3. Use What You Learned Identify three lessons learned from the experience and plan how you will use that powerful knowledge going forward. Entrepreneurs often fail multiple times before a business they founded becomes successful. As a business-of-one, you need to learn from your failure and apply it to your next career move so you can improve your chances of success. One More Thing… Don’t forget to compliment yourself for trying! Many people go through life not taking any chances. Career satisfaction will forever elude them because they aren’t using the trial-and-error method needed to create an authentic career that will make them happy. You, on the other hand, swung for the bleachers and struck out…this time. Give yourself an “A” for effort. Next time, you’ll take what you learned to bat and try again. Do that enough times, and you’ll eventually hit one! Your Next Step School teaches you everything except how to get the job.
