  • Helping Men Become Allies to Women in the #MeToo Era
    According to this week's #WorkTrends guest, Melissa Lamson, "Cultural transformation means changing the foundation of a company. This isn’t easy once the house is built." This doesn't mean it can't be done, but it does mean that it will take a concerted effort by all people involved.
