Synopsis "What's a Guy to Do?: How to Work with Women (in English)"
This book is for all men who work with women, those who have questions in the wake of the #MeToo movement and a wave of sexual harassment claims, and those who would benefit from increased awareness of the challenges that many women face at work. Men are asking what's okay in the workplace now, and this book provides those answers. It provides reassurance that, despite the vitriol of the past year, men should not step away from working with women out of fear of being accused of something or because they see them as risky. That would be a step in the wrong direction in achieving our common goal of making our workplaces more welcoming to a diverse population.The book is a quick read, focused on takeaways, not on regurgitating facts and figures. The goal is for men to have more comfortable interactions with their female colleagues. Despite the large amount of ink that has been spilled, men and women can work productively together, really enjoy each other's company, and develop collegial relationships that last a lifetime.The book addresses topics such as communication, innuendo, humor, discrimination, management, sexual harassment, social occasions, and romance. It also includes ways that men can check themselves for sexism and ways to test their companies for systemic bias and the appearance of favoritism in compensation, hiring practices, assignment of duties, and the selection of vendors.
