\nWhat is gender bias?<\/b><\/h2>\n
Research<\/a> suggests that both men and women have equally negative stereotypes<\/b> about the other gender. Gender bias<\/b> occurs when these gender stereotypes come through in our interactions with others.<\/p>\nGender bias in the workplace can look like:<\/p>\n
\n- Making a demeaning joke about women in front of colleagues<\/li>\n
- Asking a nonbinary co-worker to sit out of a key meeting with a client due to their gender<\/li>\n
- Assuming a man is not interested in a role that involves providing emotional support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Although we’re focused on stereotypes about men and women, gender isn’t binary–stereotypes about genderqueer \/ non-binary people also exist.<\/a><\/p>\n
