"Best person for the job"


Listen Later

Do you know how to respond to things like “the best person should get the job” or "don’t even bother applying unless you’re a woman"? I sure didn’t.

 

In this episode we’re joined by Gender Equity Specialist (and Super Responder) Alicia Pearce to explore how to have a constructive conversation about gender targets in the work and at home, and how to respond to things like -

 

- "The best person should always get the job"

 

- "Good male candidates are missing out because of quotas"

 

- “There’s no point in even applying unless you have long hair and boobs”

 

- Or how to support female colleagues that think “I only got the job because of a quota”
