World-renowned experts on gender intelligence Barbara Annis and Keith Merron suggest its time to move beyond arguments based on politics and fairness, building an economic business case for gender diversity in the workplace.Despite forty years of laws, quotas, diversity training, and legal expenses aimed toward equalizing pay, opportunities, and working conditions between the sexes, the glass ceiling remains firmly intact. For too long, companies have played the numbers gameattempting to tackle gender imbalance by forcing affirmative action policies and numeric standards on organizations to increase the representation of women in management. Yet, these efforts have rarely been sustained.In this groundbreaking comprehensive analysis, based on more than twenty-five years of in-depth surveys involving 100, 000 men and women across dozens of Fortune 500 companies, Barbara Annis and Keith Merron provide a deeper understanding of the multiplicity of forces that have combined to create and perpetuate gender inequality. Gender Intelligence exposes common false assumptions that prevent men and women from successfully performing together at workmyths exacerbated by worn-out theories of gender blindness and sameness thinking. It show how a small but growing number of courageous, leading-edge companies have broken through the barriers to successfully advance women, making the remarkable transformation from compliance to choicefrom pressure to preferenceand show how it can be done in any business.Gender Intelligence features 17 illustrations.
