students response

 

Adverse impacts of stereotyping in the work place can lead to a false impression of an employee. For example, at my current company, each quarter we discuss managers and what their timelines are for the next role. Some of the descriptions of female managers are aggressive, passive, non confrontational, quiet, or emotional. Descriptions of male managers are commanding, assertive, intelligent, challenging, even tempered. I really started to take notice of these meetings and saw how the females who were seen as emotional were just as assertive as the men but it was received differently. Women who were deemed aggressive said the same thing as the men who were labeled commanding.

This type of descriptive words hurts companies because a female manager may illicit passion to increase the budget and sway a board meeting to increasing the budget but the male manager is asked to speak to the board because he is “commanding”.

It also is discriminatory the other way around. A female employee may not want to speak to a male manager about an issue not knowing the male manager would be a great person to listen to the employee because he may have been through something similar.

The divide stereotypes create decreases productivity and increases rifts in management.
