See keynotes with Marianne CooperResearch shows that when set up for success, diverse teams and organizations perform better. However, harnessing the benefits of diversity is easier said than done. Despite many institutions focusing on diversity, progress has been slow. In this talk, Dr. Cooper will discuss how biases get in the way of diversity efforts and will provide evidence-based strategies that organizations and companies can use to mitigate and block bias to create change and foster inclusion.
Dr. Cooper is a coauthor or the annual Women in the Workplace report, a collaboration between LeanIn.org and McKinsey. As the largest survey on the state of women in corporate America, she regularly gives talks on the report’s breaking insights into the issues women are experiencing at work. From burnout to the motherhood penalty to what women now want from work, Dr. Cooper discusses how these challenges are impacting women’s careers, specifically their path to leadership and advancement. These talks conclude with a discussion of what managers and companies can do to better support all employees and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Sexual harassment is a persistent barrier to women’s advancement in public and private sectors, including academia. Today, rates of sexual harassment in companies, universities, and organizations remain high. In this talk, Dr. Cooper will provide an overview of the problem and discuss the incidence of sexual harassment in work environments, the various forms it can take, and the cultural conditions and norms that can breed and support it. Dr. Cooper will then discuss how leaders can identify where this may be happening in their own organizations, and the strategies and steps for addressing it.
Research shows that women often face unique negative tradeoffs in the workplace, particularly as they try to advance in their organizations. In this talk, Dr. Cooper uses this frame of “double binds” to explore the ways in which women’s experiences at work can feel “damned if you, damned if you don’t.” From the likeability trap, to difficulty with self-promotion, to the motherhood penalty, women often experience tensions and tradeoffs at work. Dr. Cooper will talk about these dynamics and provide evidence-driven strategies women can use to recognize and navigate these challenges.
