Men.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWomen are at a disadvantage in the workplace, where they deal with unequal pay, sexual harassment, lack of credit for their contributions, and more. And while organisations are looking to address these issues, too many gender-inclusion initiatives focus exclusively on how women should respond, leaving men out of the equation. Such efforts reinforce the perception that these are 'women's issues' and that men—often the most powerful stakeholders in an organisation—don't need to be involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs gender-in-the-workplace experts David G. Smith and W. Brad Johnson show in this important book, men have a crucial opportunity to promote gender equality at work. Research shows that when men are deliberately engaged in gender-inclusion programs, 96 percent of women in those organisations perceive real progress in gender equality, compared with only 30 percent of women in organisations without strong male engagement. \u003ci\u003eGood Guys\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to provide a practical, research-based guide for how to be a male ally to women in the workplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with firsthand accounts from both men and women, as well as tips for getting started, the book shows how men can partner with their female colleagues to advance women's leadership and equality by breaking ingrained gender stereotypes, overcoming unconscious biases, developing and supporting the talented women around them, and creating productive and respectful working relationships with women—especially in a post-#MeToo world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46719867683052,"sku":"9781633698727","price":73.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18234763482769.jpg?v=1754579174"},{"product_id":"natural-asset-farming-by-suzannah-m-macbeth-9781486314836","title":"Natural Asset Farming","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarm dams, creeklines, vegetation, and rocky outcrops are natural assets that are essential for healthy, sustainable farms.
