Despite extensive and costly diversity initiatives, little progress has been made in recent years in ending workplace gender inequality. Instead of continuing in this tradition, our PATH program starts with the clear and simple truth: That workplace gender inequality is a systemic problem caused largely by the (unintended) discriminatory operation of personnel systems, policies, and practices.
With that understanding in place, PATH presents the four-prong solution for directly attacking the structural discrimination that leads to gender inequality in the workplace:
- Prioritize Elimination of Exclusionary Behavior
- Adopt Bias-free Methods of Decision-Making
- Treat Inequality in the Home as a Workplace Problem
- Halt Unequal Performance Evaluations and Leadership Development Opportunities
A PATH to Promote Gender Equality
PATH lays out a comprehensive set of actions that organizations can take to ensure people no longer encounter gendered obstacles to their career advancement and find their workplaces engaging, supportive places where they — and everyone — can thrive.

How Andie & Al Can Bring Solutions for Gender Equality to Your Workplace
Organizations’ DEI efforts are primarily focused on “debiasing” individuals. But between ingrained behaviors and unconscious biases, it is difficult — if not impossible — to “teach” people not to allow their predispositions to affect their decisions and behavior. Instead, it’s the (often unintended) discriminatory policies, procedures, and accepted practices of the organization that hold the key to an equitable workplace.
Based on extensive research, Andie and Al present a four-prong program to directly attack the structural gender discrimination holding people back at work. Attendees will leave this session able to:
- Recognize the types of bias that affect career advancement in the workplace.
- Understand how discretion can unintentionally bias advancement opportunities for women.
- Implement a comprehensive set of practical and effective actions to ensure women no longer encounter gendered obstacles on their path to career success.
