Gender equity efforts risk deepening divides if they’re not handled carefully. But with empathy and inclusive dialogue, leaders can turn tension into trust.

    Promote policies that benefit everyone. By promoting policies such as hybrid work and parental leave that benefit everyone, workplaces will attract and retain a more diverse workforce, which leads to greater innovation. Encourage men to take advantage of these policies and ensure your company culture makes it acceptable to do so. This enables men to actually experience the benefit of these initiatives. Align efforts around shared values – such as the desire for healthier families, better education or stronger economies.

    i like that it acknowledges that the work culture also needs to encourage men to take parental leave. just having it available doesn’t help if a guy knows it will be considered negatively and possibly hinder advancement.
