A passionate, practical roadmap for addressing inequality and finally making our workplaces work for women Arianna HuffingtonForeword by Gillian Anderson and Jennifer NadelFor years, weve been telling women that in order to succeed at work, they have to change themselves first lean in, negotiate like a man, dont act too nicely or you won't get the corner office. But after sixteen years working with major Fortune 500 companies as a gender equality expert, Michelle King has realised one simple truth the tired advice of fixing women doesnt fix anything.The truth is that workplaces are gendered; they were designed by men for men. Because of this, most organisations unconsciously carry the idea of an 'ideal worker', typically a straight, white man who doesnt have to juggle work and family commitments. Based on Kings research and exclusive interviews with major companies and thought leaders, The Fix reveals why denying the fact that women are held back just because they are women what she calls gender denial is the biggest obstacle holding women back at work and outlines the hidden sexism and invisible barriers women encounter at work every day. Women who speak up are seen as pushy. Women who ask for a pay rise are seen as difficult. Women who spend hours networking dont get the same career benefits as men do. Because women dont look like the ideal worker and cant behave like the ideal worker, they are passed over for promotions, paid less, and pushed out of the workforce, not because they arent good enough, but because they arent men.In this fascinating and empowering book, King outlines the invisible barriers that hold women back at all stages of their careers, and provides readers with a clear set of takeaways to thrive despite the sexist workplace, as they fight for change from within. Gender equality is not about women, and it is not about men it is about making workplaces work for everyone. Together, we can fix work, not women.
