Ep 175 - (Part 1) 3 Major Systemic Barriers to Women's Progression: The Culture Barrier
In this 3-part series I am going to be sharing the major systemic barriers to women progressing in their careers: today we are talking about The Culture Barrier.
Most STEM and Financial environments remain heavily male dominated and it can have an impact on those organisations being able to hire and retain key female talent.
In this episode, I'm talking about three key factors:
1. The emotional impact of being one of a few women in a male dominated culture
2. The fact that these working environments often fail to play to women's strengths and values
3. Male dominated leadership teams provide little to no female mentorship and role modelling opportunities for women working earlier in the pipeline
Something I said today:
"Male dominated working cultures don't need to be at that 'hostile or intimidating extreme' to exclude women still. By their very nature, these environments can be unwelcoming and impart that feeling in women that they don't belong here." (Rebecca Allen, Host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
