How to Stop Saying Yes to “Non-Promotable Work” — with Linda Babcock

Women Amplified - Podcast autorstwa The Conferences for Women

Kategorie:

Why are women running faster than ever, burdened with endless to-do lists and still trailing behind their male colleagues? Because women most often are unfairly left with “non-promotable work:” planning the office party, screening interns, attending to that time-consuming client, or simply helping others with their work. The imbalance leaves women overcommitted, underutilized and trapped in a spiral of toxic productivity. In this episode of Women Amplified, Carnegie Mellon professor of economics and women’s empowerment researcher Linda Babcock will explore what must be done for women to achieve career advancement and equity. Learn actionable ways to change your workload, create boundaries and make empowered and savvy decisions about the work you take on so you can focus on work that matters and gets you promoted.   Linda Babcock Linda Babcock is the James M. Walton Professor in Economics at Carnegie Mellon University and the coauthor of The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work, with Lise Vesterlund, Laurie Weingart, and Brenda Peyser.  Babcock is a behavioral economist focused on understanding barriers to women’s advancement in the workplace and developing evidence-based interventions to promote a level playing field.
