This insightful book, Don't Fix Women, emphasizes systemic change over individual fixes to achieve gender balance in the workplace.
In Don't Fix Women, the author argues that achieving gender balance in the workplace requires systemic change rather than focusing solely on individual women. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying structures that hinder gender equality and offers practical solutions to address these issues. By shifting the narrative from 'fixing' women to transforming organizational practices, this work aims to empower both women and their workplaces.
Through insights gathered from over 100 senior business leaders and CEOs, Don't Fix Women provides a roadmap for organizations seeking to enhance gender equality. The book outlines specific strategies for retaining and rewarding female employees while also addressing the shortcomings of existing diversity initiatives. The author encourages readers to take actionable steps that can lead to meaningful change in their organizations and foster a truly diverse leadership culture.
Joy Burnford, the author, combines her extensive experience as a 'curator of confidence' with her research to highlight the necessity of not just empowering women but also reforming the systems they operate within. With a wealth of practical recommendations, Don't Fix Women serves as a vital resource for leaders who aspire to create a more equitable workplace and reap the benefits of diversity. The call to action is clear: it is time to be the change that is needed for true gender equality to flourish.
This book is exactly what it says it is: a very practical guide to the structural issues in workplaces and society that have blocked women’s progress and a toolkit with ideas for fixing them.
