Talking Gender Equity with Pamela Culpepper

Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Pam Culpepper of Have Her Back about Gender Equity in the workplace. As the two-year anniversary of the #Metoo movement arrives, only 15% of women believe that the movement has had an impact on their workplace, career, and opportunities in general, according to a nationwide survey conducted by Have Her Back Consulting, a women-owned and led culture consultancy.  The findings suggest that despite culture’s demand to advance equity for women, few companies have actually taken specific actions to change corporate culture. Perhaps most telling, 55% of respondents said the impact of #Metoo has been felt more on society and culture, while only 28% said it has had an equal impact on them, personally. According to respondents, very few companies have taken actions to counter the issues that #MeToo identified. When asked what initiatives their employers have verbally committed to, 37% of respondents said “sexual harassment training” followed by 31% who said, “nothing.” When asked what actions were actually taken, 37% of respondents said “nothing” and only 28% said sexual harassment prevention training programs were conducted in their workplace.
