Hepeating at work: What is it & how can we tackle it?

Women: have you ever voiced an idea which was met with blank stares or a patronising clap on the back, without anything you suggested coming to fruition?

Okay, so maybe it wasn’t a great idea. But isn’t it funny how if a male repeats your idea sometimes it will suddenly gain respect?

Most female workers have been there. And, what can start out as something a little irritating, can manifest into feelings of worthlessness.

Peeved off by the sheer audacity of males appropriating an idea that a female initially proffers, and then seeing males praised as if it was their own, one female has coined a term for it - ‘hepeating.’
