🤔 Did you know that the workplace is the 5th leading cause of deaths in the US, higher than Alzheimer's or kidney disease? Some factors include excessive work hours + lack of health care, according to Stanford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer's findings in his book, "Dying for a Paycheck." 😭 I was disgusted to find out that the recent accolades allotted to JP Morgan for capping junior bankers hours were under false pretenses, making "exceptions for live deals." Every deal is live! A junior banker told me. 😢 I have had far too many coaching sessions with women in tears due to a toxic colleague or boss who is sabotaging them, belittling them, downright screaming at them in public - and I have also been that employee. I've also coached women who are being sexually harassed and when they bring it up, they are the one who is fired, not the perpetrator. 🙅♀️ That's why Empower Global is proud to advocate for safer workplaces across America by signing on to The Workplace Psychological Safety Act, which provides a clear course of action for employees who suffer from workplace psychological abuse. No more. https://lnkd.in/eFmAbxTQ 🙇♀️ Have you been that employee? Or been the shoulder someone else cries on while you boil up in anger? You can take action. For ways you can help get the act brought up and passed in your state, click here: https://lnkd.in/eNRB3f58. #psychologicalsafety #workplaceculture #leadership #servantleadership #workplaceabuse #activism (Kudos to Kimberly Williams and her incredible daughter Cassie for their volunteer activism getting this on the policymaking agenda!)

These days we are experiencing a great deal of polarization and tension with regard to how different people view #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion. Often, these tensions can best be understood and addressed from a #paradox perspective. I wrote about this and explored three of these paradoxes in detail in my article in The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science (JABS), "Paradoxes of Inclusion: Understanding and Managing the Tensions of Diversity and Multiculturalism." These paradoxes--related to self-expression and identity, boundaries and norms, and safety and comfort--are summarized in the two figures from the article, included here. Check out the full article for more depth and framing, and to read about ways that we can manage these paradoxical tensions. If you have access to JABS, you can find the article here: https://lnkd.in/gEZ3K27a If you'd like me to send you copy, send me a message or leave a comment and I will DM you with a link. What are you observing and experiencing with regard to these and other paradoxes and tensions related to inclusion and #DEI? What are some helpful and integrative ways that you have found can help to bridge the gaps and reduce polarization, while still pursuing the goals of DEI? #InclusiveLeadership

What does flawed or unethical data collection have to do with the rights of women and sexual or gender minorities? Check out Amnesty International's latest report on #Gender and #HumanRights in the #DigitalAge to learn more.
Marginalized groups, including women and LGBTI individuals, are at risk of human rights violations due to extensive and flawed data collection practices that fail to capture their unique experiences. Governments often justify these data-gathering methods as a cost-effective way to implement automated public sector systems, while Big Tech companies exploit personal data for their profitable surveillance-based business models. This lack of regulation in data accumulation and processing leads to harmful mass surveillance and exacerbates discrimination against women and LGBTI people.- via Amnesty International Download it here: https://lnkd.in/eMJPPyMp #gender #TFGBV #GBV #genderequality

What should your company do when it comes to NDAs? For proprietary info? Yea. For harassment, assault, ethics? Don’t even make them an option. Then there is incentive to deal with the problem that occurred rather than silencing the employee. I can’t even express the number of women I’ve had in my courses who have told me that when they spoke out against bad behavior, were whistleblowers or were harassed themselves, they either were bullied into leaving, got fired or “laid off.” That includes me. More upsettingly, years later the perpetrators still were at the company. Doesn’t it make you want to throw up? The gold standard for NDA legislation, rendering all non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses unenforceable in cases of harassment or discrimination. Kimberly Williams would love your input on this. #humanrights #womensrights #psychogicalsafety #leadership

Study (N=23) finds NDA signers psychologically devastated by not being able to speak about their harassment or discrimination; companies had no incentive to fix problems; non-competes led to lasting impact on victims' careers.

We are happy to have committed to end workplace abuse as a partner on this initiative!
Vice President of People, Culture & Compliance | Advisory Council Member & Spokesperson for End Workplace Abuse | Board Member | Former Diplomat | Speaker
And we're live! I am excited to announce the launch of the Washington DC chapter page on EndWorkplaceAbuse.com! While the page is new, this effort is not. More than 7,000 have signed on to support similar legislation across the U.S. and I am thrilled to help bring this bill to our nation's capital. I am joined by Tania (Kayowa) Kasongo, CMP, HMCC, DES, Tanee E. and my smart, beautiful, not-so-little girl, Cassi. She just celebrated her 16th birthday and is already ready to change the world. You can help her - and all of us - by engaging with this page (link below), signing the petition (no matter where you live), and spreading the word as far and wide as you can. I am also calling on all my friends who live and work in the district to please email DC's councilmembers and ask them to consider this bill. And if you are a DC-based business who believes in psychologically safe workplaces, DM me. I'd love to partner and make sure the world knows you are an employer of choice. Our growing network is filled with incredible talent looking for companies that care. #EndWorkplaceAbuse #WBCFasterTogether #NAWBO #NWLC #NELA

More from our fantastic ROI on Women's Inclusion work. Just really promising stuff in here that 👏 needs 👏 to 👏 spread👏. Who's with us? 🙋♀️🙋🏾♂️🙋🏿♀️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏽♀️ USAID Feed the Future Ruta Aidis Lauren Murphy Lynn Schneider Wade Channell Lis Meyers Aslihan Kes
“Closing the Gap: A Synthesis Report on the Cases for the ROI of Women's Inclusion,” the final report on the WI-ROI case study series, sheds light on the positive impact of women-inclusive investments in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This synthesis report showcases promising models of women-inclusive investments through case studies with two SMEs: Grean World in #Ethiopia and Okeba in #Uganda. By leveraging the WI-ROI Framework, MSP analyzed the financial impact of their inclusive strategies, revealing significant returns on investment. 📈 Evidence Highlights: -Grean World's shift to a women-centered sales approach resulted in a 35% increase in profits, driven by reduced costs and increased sales in rural areas. -Okeba's investment in onsite childcare led to improved worker performance, decreasing costs per unit and creating considerable value for the company. 🌐 Implications: The WI-ROI Framework not only offers a tool for assessing financial returns but also paves the way for scalable and impactful inclusive business models. By aligning with existing business language and utilizing available data, WI-ROI initiatives can drive meaningful change while enhancing enterprise development. 👇🏻👇🏾👇🏿 Swipe through the carousel below for the full report as well as a timeline of where the Synthesis Report fits into the overall Women-Inclusive Return on Investment (WI-ROI) workstream. --- The WI-ROI Case Study Series aims to bridge an evidence gap in WI-ROI initiatives from SMEs in LMICs by applying USAID's Women Inclusive Return on Investment Framework. The Framework and the Series provide practical tools to identify firms and WI initiatives for WI-ROI investments, how to track outcomes and practical examples of SME projects that accrued ROI. We are grateful to Erin Markel and Sabine Garbarino of MarketShare Associates and Yaquta Fatehi from the William Davidson Institute for their vision and invaluable input. We also thank Jenny Stankowski, PMP from Feed the Future Market Systems and Partnerships for your efforts in producing this series.
