Description
Shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
A Financial Times Best Business Book of the Year
A Times Higher Education Book of the Week
Best Business Book of the Year, 800-CEO-READ
Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back, and de-biasing people's minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. By de-biasing organisations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts. Presenting research-based solutions, Iris Bohnet hands us the tools we need to move the needle in classrooms and boardrooms, in hiring and promotion, benefiting businesses, governments, and the lives of millions.
Bohnet assembles an impressive assortment of studies that demonstrate how organisations can achieve gender equity in practice. What Works is stuffed with good ideas, many equally simple to implement.
- Carol Tavris, Wall Street Journal
A practical guide for any employer seeking to offset the unconscious bias holding back women in organisations, from orchestras to internet companies.
- Andrew Hill, Financial Times
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised for its clarity and actionable insights, What Works is hailed as a groundbreaking contribution to behavioural science and gender equity. Adam Grant calls it compelling and filled with practical advice, while Cass Sunstein highlights its broad impact on policymaking and individual lives. Reviewers commend Bohnet's ability to present gender equality as a win-win scenario rather than a zero-sum game, making the journey towards equity practical and inspiring. Carol Tavris of the Wall Street Journal notes the abundance of effective, simple ideas, and Sarah Gord recommends it as a guide for companies aiming to tackle gender bias at every level.
