The term “workplace harassment” often conjures images of 1950s-style gender-based pestering where men made women feel uncomfortable and powerless through comments and touch that would not fly in today’s workplace – “Mad Men” style. The issue has become much wider than just gender though, and is recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court. By its definition, harassment can include ethnic, racial, age, disability, color, religion, pregnancy, and gender-identity harassment. This means that education about and awareness of harassment should be a top priority for organizations.

Pain can lead us to the source of our troubles — and with that efferent signal we can begin to act in response. This is exactly how I view the unfolding shift within organizations today. Traditional organizational structure and processes are often unfit to support the work life needs of human beings (think  Maslow’s notion  of safety applied to work). We’ve seen staggering engagement lows reflecting this shortfall —  and the accompanying financial ramifications (See more on that  here ). In many organizations retention will become an increasing worry. We shouldn’t feign surprise.

Despite what many may believe, research shows that there are more similarities than differences between men and women when it comes to motivations in business. So if women and men aren’t so different in what they want professionally, why do gender divides exist in everyday work? . Perhaps focusing away from “what” women and men think is a good place to start. Instead, consider that women process information differently and tend to construct meaning differently than men do. Considering “how” thinking happens is the difference. And yes, there are exceptions among individuals. Nirvana? Maybe not.
