Yesterday marked day 2 of our month-long Summer Series: 25 minute daily talks all throughout July. This session features Denise Reed Lamoreaux, Global Chief Diversity Officer, Atos (past North American award winner).

A few things Denise mentioned really stuck out for me:

  • Women receive far less specific performance feedback than men and the feedback is rarely tied to business goals
  • Research consistently shows that managers give men higher performance ratings than women even when their qualifications and behaviors are identical
  • Women’s performance reviews have 2.4 times as many references to team accomplishments rather than individual results compared to men
  • Women are interrupted 5 times more than men in meetings

But how do you remove this gender bias? Denise’s talk gave advice such as:

  • How to choose your words wisely – the words to use and the words to avoid
  • How to make sure you are giving specific, actional feedback
  • How to make sure feedback is equitable
