There are several steps you can take to ensure that women in your workplace are treated with respect and dignity, so that they feel safe and valued. Firstly, it is essential to have a clear policy in place on any unacceptable behaviour, including workplace harassment. Secondly, ensure that everyone - from management downwards - receives training on what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable behaviours in the workplace. Thirdly make sure you have an anonymous reporting system for anyone who feels they have been subject to wrongdoing so that disciplinary measures can be taken wherever necessary. Lastly implement strategies which reinforce an environment of equality including mentoring programs, recognition of successful projects by both male and female employees and providing flexible hours for those with family obligations.

There are several ways you can ensure that the women in your workplace are treated with respect and dignity. First, make sure your language is respectful and considerate at all times. Refrain from making derogatory or disrespectful jokes and addressing women with belittling terms. Additionally, avoid objectifying or harassing behaviour towards the women in your workplace and create a culture of respect through enforcing policies that address discrimination or harassment should they occur. Finally, show support for the efforts of feminists in your organization and encourage conversations around promoting gender equality on both an interpersonal level as well as institutionally within the company by holding trainings for managers regarding unconscious biases.
