Despite significant changes, gender conflict remains a workplace issue. Learn what both genders can do to work together.
Training Points:
The two main causes of the differences are:
- Genetic/hormonal factors - "hard-wiring" of the brain
- Environmental/social factors - the way we are treated
- <>In the workplace, communication style differences are a key aspect
Differences in body language
- Eye contact - females maintain it for longer than males
- Space - women approach more closely
- Facial expressions/gestures - women more skilled at sending and interpreting them
Differences in participation
- Who talks the most? In mixed gender groups men spend more time talking than women; people who talk more are perceived as dominant
- <>Who interrupts? Men interrupt women more often than women interrupt men; women are more likely than men to allow an interruption to be successful; people who are interrupted are seen as less powerful
The impact of gender differences
- Women have less opportunity to contribute ideas
- Women perceived as weaker, less competent
Differences in making requests
Use of tag questions vs. clear statements - "It's cold in here, isn't it?"
