If I asked you to think of a CEO of a company, what type of person would you think of?
The sad reality is that many of us will think of a white male between the ages 40 and 60. It’s not our fault that we have this stereotype ingrained in our minds, however. In 2023, 37 CEOs in the world’s top 50 Fortune 500 companies were white men.
In the West, women only notably joined the workforce in the first World War, which wasn’t a particularly long time ago. Dismantling patriarchal and misogynistic notions is one of the main challenges of the modern workplace, and there are many ways women are attempting to override biases and sexism in the workplace.
Some examples of these include getting women into leadership roles, encouraging employees to challenge their own biases, enabling flexibility for parents, and supporting employees around reproductive health, to name a few.
