Every company needs universal bias training. It used to be a thing that if you walked by a construction site that you would actually get cat calls and men would yell things at you if you were a woman. They could be supposedly complimentary but they invited other man to look at and objectify a woman. Very uncomfortable. You know what, I live in LA and that doesn’t happen anymore because companies have sexual harassment training so they understand that makes a hostile environment for women and they could get sued. This creates some consciousness and raises the level of awareness. That is what universal bias training would help with, our unconscious biases that we all have, men and women alike. What to ask for? Start with gender bias. Remember 50%. If your company management ranks don’t reflect the workforce at large, something needs to change.
