Three quarters of women are labelled ‘emotional' in performance reviews - compared to just 11 percent of men. This finding comes from research by Textio. The study of 25,000 reviews found 56 percent of women were labelled ‘unlikeable', compared to just 16 percent of men. More than a decade ago, a similar report found 76 percent of high-performing women had received negative feedback, compared to 2 percent of men. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Director and founder of Career Wise, Joe Robbins. Photo (C): Kupicoo Getty Images Canva

This week I delve into ‘the Big O' - aka Overwhelm, with Carla Miller.  Carla is a leadership coach and best-selling author of ‘Closing The Influence Gap: A practical guide for women leaders who want to be heard' which reached #1 in the Amazon charts for Business Leadership Skills and was a finalist in the 2023 Business Book Awards.  Carla was CEO of Tiny Tickers and then Managing Director of Charity People, a leading charity recruitment consultancy alongside founding her own coaching business. She is also the host of the chart-topping podcast – Influence & Impact for Female Leaders    We start with chatting about Carla's own brushes with overwhelm, and move on to examine how overwhelm and burnout are linked, plus Carla's experience of early menopause and why menopause can often contribute to feelings of overwhelm.    Carla tells us a few of her strategies for managing overwhelm including: Normalising that most people feel overwhelm at some point in their lives. No one is giving 100% all the time. Figuring out what we might be able to ‘care less' about at times we might be struggling. Coping with company cultures that have a tendency to keep overloading employees: I love Carla's suggested wording “that sounds amazing, we are fully committed at the moment, so if we are going to start doing that what are we going to stop, to make the space for that?” How to avoid over committing - how many ‘shoulds' are real and how many are our own expectations of ourselves or perceived expectations of others. Unless it's a ‘hell yes!” don't commit to things on the spot - buy yourself some time to think about it before saying yes and then regretting it (or worse, resenting them!).   We also cover ‘non-promotable tasks' in the workplace (aka office housework), as well as the differences in the types of feedback that men and women get in the workplace. Coincidentally, the same day I wrote these shownotes, I came across these stats from a recent report: About 76% of top-performing working women received negative feedback from their bosses compared to just 2% of high-achieving men (according to a new report from management software company Textio, which analysed stats performance reviews for more than 23,000 workers across over 250 organisations). About 88% of these outstanding women workers receive feedback on their personalities, while the same is true for only 12% of their male counterparts, according to the report.   As Carla rightly points out, prioritizing our own needs is not selfish. Many of us feel uncomfortable advocating for ourselves (in and out fo work), but the only person that's going to be the best advocate for you, is YOU! (I wish I had understood this better in my 20s and 30s…and 40s!).   You can find Carla at https://carlamiller.co.uk/ and if you want to work on ‘how to say no' then why not sign up for her free 5 day “how to say No” challenge at carlamillertraining.com/sayno  And if you struggle with people-pleasing behaviours, you might also find this episode with Nat Lue helpful: https://middlingalong.com/episodes/middling-along-natalie-lue-helps-us-discover-the-joy-of-saying-no/   If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a short review online!  If your workplace wants to become more ‘menopause friendly' then please let them know about the work I do at http://www.managingthemenopause.com  Follow me over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause   Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share  We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/

For an industry that prides itself on breaking barriers, data shows that it remains shockingly resistant to disrupting its own diversity hurdles. Guest post by Martina Campbell, Product Director at Workhuman and Vice-Chair & Board Executive at Women in Technology and Science Ireland The tech industry has long been associated with forward-thinking innovation and disruption. Yet, despite this commitment to progress, it remains starkly resistant to breaking down barriers that hinder gender diversity, particularly in leadership. While there has been incremental improvement, recent data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) reveals that over 75% of board positions and 69% of senior executive roles across sectors are still held by men. In Science, Tech, Engineering, and Mathematics roles (STEM), women represent fewer than 25% of positions, underscoring the persistent obstacles to achieving true equity in tech. This gap represents more than a missed diversity target; it's a lost opportunity for innovation. Recent from McKinsey shows that diverse leadership teams foster more creative problem-solving, drive stronger business outcomes, and increase organisational resilience, thus the underrepresentation of women - who bring diverse perspectives and leadership styles - is a paradox that tech companies can no longer afford to ignore. The hidden hurdles Many of the barriers women face in tech are often subtle. To name a few, unconscious bias can shape everything from hiring to promotions, resulting in fewer female role models in senior positions. This leads to a lack of role models in senior positions, complicating the access of aspiring women in tech to mentorship programs, and networking that helps fuel career progression. Additionally, women may encounter higher performance standards, not only in the tech sector but in general. A report by Textio, which analysed performance reviews for more than 23,000 workers in the US, revealed that about 76% of top-performing working women received negative feedback from their bosses compared to just 2% of high-achieving men. This expectation, whether conscious or unconscious undermines women's contributions. Further complicating the picture, many tech companies still operate in ways that don't prioritise inclusivity or flexibility. Flexibility can mean different things to different people. For some, it might be remote work. For others, it might be flexible hours, with alternative schedules that help to balance professional with personal commitments. This lack of understanding of women's individual needs creates additional barriers to their career advancements. To move the needle, companies need to think beyond superficial solutions, with strategies that can drive lasting, systemic changes. Beyond the band-aid solutions One-off training sessions or superficial recruitment targets fail to address the underlying issues. Meaningful change demands a strategic approach that embeds diversity and inclusion into the core of the company's culture and operations. One effective method for driving real progress is a proper employee recognition program in which women's contributions are celebrated and visible to decision-makers. Past Workhuman and Gallup research show that employees who receive the right amount of recognition for the work they do are four times more likely to perceive their workplace as inclusive and seven times more likely to perceive it as equitable compared to those who don't receive the right amount of recognition. For women in tech, recognition can be a powerful tool for breaking down bias, as it shifts focus to demonstrated performance and achievements. When women's contributions are consistently acknowledged, they gain more visibility and credibility, helping to mitigate unconscious bias and support fair evaluations. Establishing Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) for women and allies is also an effective lever to create a community of support, while leadership programs focused on train...

We can catch each other's gaps.”Charna Parkey“There's an interesting conversation happening, I think, in the community right now about these purpose-built LLMs. Are they as good as generic LLMs? Sure, certainly if you're not going to apply something purpose-built to something generic or outside of its domain, it is not as good. But I think some of this shows us that unless you have something purpose-built and unless you're leveraging the data in the right way, you may just be feeding noise back into the system.” LinksConnect with TacitaConnect with Charna

Between all these conversations, research for 5 Things, and research for my book, Inclusive 360, I think I figured out the winning formula for meaningful DEI progress: Purpose + Strategy + Accountability (PSA). It sounds simple but we all know it's not easy. Let me break it down:Purpose must be a people-first message that employees can rally around. Leaders should also share their own individual purposes.Strategy must be holistic and organization-wide, not simply workshops and coaching, not simply hiring more underrepresented talent.Accountability must be for all managers, or everyone, if you'd like, where engagement in or progress on DEI goals is a part of performance reviews.Here are the good vibes I found this week:LinkedIn Adds New Accessibility Features, Including Auto-Captions on VideosSoftware Helps Employers Fix Problematic Feedback Language Before It's Delivered‘The Whole Country Shines With a Huge Rainbow': Same-Sex Marriage Legal in All Mexican StatesDiwali Will Be a Public School Holiday in New York City Starting in 2023Disney Expands Costume Options For Children With DisabilitiesRead the full blog here: https://www.theequalityinstitute.com/equality-insights-blog/5-things-the-dei-psaTo learn more about Toby and his company, Mildon - visit: https://www.mildon.co.uk/This episode originally aired October 31, 2022 Join thousands of readers by subscribing to the 5 Things newsletter.

Did you know that 63% of workers who receive low-quality feedback are likely to quit within the next year?  Performance feedback isn't just an HR problem, it's a business problem. And in this week's pod, Hebba's sitting down with Kieran Snyder, CEO and Co-founder of Textio, to dive deep into the world of performance management and fairness in the workplace.  Is being labeled an overachiever really just coded language for exceeding management's low expectations? And what role can accountability and quality feedback play in creating a fairer system?   Kieran sheds light on the vicious cycle between performance feedback and confirmation bias and explains why true accountability at all levels is essential. She unpacks how women and people of color often face different feedback standards than other groups, and reveals why management must face the same performance standards as everyone else in order for a system to truly be equitable.   And stay tuned to discover how Textio is working to bridge the gap between HR leaders' intent for fairness and the tools available to them.   00:00:00 - Improving Communication at Work  00:02:52 - The Truth About Training and Performance Management 00:04:53 - Improving Fairness in Performance Management 00:09:07 - Common Challenges in Traditional Performance Reviews 00:17:10 - The Impact of Confirmation Bias in the Workplace 00:24:45 - Improving Employee Feedback with Software 00:27:00 - Improving Quality Feedback from Managers 00:30:35 - Closing the Gap on Pay Equity 00:32:56 - Addressing Systemic Racism in the Workplace  00:35:24 - Closing the Gender Feedback Gap 00:39:58 - The Importance of Feedback Culture   And if you love HR Therapy, sign up to I Hate it Here, the newsletter for jaded, overworked, and emotionally burnt-out HR/People Operations professionals needing a little inspiration. https://workweek.com/discover-newsletters/i-hate-it-here-newsletter/   For even more exclusive insider content, don't forget to check out my YouTube page.     Learn More About Textio:  Website: https://textio.com/   Follow Kieran: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kieran-snyder-60572987/   Follow Hebba:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ihateit-here/videos LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/hebba-youssef Twitter: https://twitter.com/hebbamyoussef   15Five is the performance management platform that drives business results and gives HR teams a complete solution to deliver high employee performance, engagement, and retention while improving manager effectiveness.    Find out more about 15Five here.

You may not consider yourself old at 40, but you begin to think about it when you see most of your co-workers in their 20s or 30s being commended for their youthful “energy,” “enthusiasm,” or “hunger.” Many employees strive for success in mid-life and beyond, but they also regularly struggle with varying degrees of ageism - and it's especially bad at the workplace. If ageism is an issue in your organization, what can you do? How can you challenge stereotypes about aging and show that people of all ages are capable of making significant contributions to work and society in general? Whatever you might encounter, there is no reason to tolerate discrimination as you age. Today, I have Sandy Matus with me from Textio, a software company that helps organizations hire and retain diverse talent by removing bias from job descriptions and performance reviews. Sandy is the VP of People and has joined us to share Textio's data on age in the workplace, talk about how age bias impacts your career, describe what she's seen across the organizations where she's worked, and tell you how to fight back. Sandy leads the team responsible for Textio's world-class employee experience, driving talent strategy, people operations, performance management, Total Rewards, and learning and development programs. With over 20 years of experience in Human Resources, Sandy is passionate about delivering a truly exceptional and inclusive employee experience. For the last decade, Sandy has focused on supporting tech startups in building the culture and infrastructure needed to scale.Join us for an engaging and informative conversation. Whether you are an older employee, a younger employee thinking of your future self, a hiring manager, or a business leader, there are so many things you can learn from today's episode with Sandy. Here's to a better future of work! "If an organization wants to be a good employer and wants to do well, they're going to be evaluating individuals for the contributions you make, not simply how energetic you look or what appearances you have."- Sandy MatusIn This Episode:-Who is Sandy Matus, and what does she do?-What does Textio's data say about age bias in the workplace?-How do we get people to understand how damaging age bias and discrimination are when hiring people?-How Textio can help companies identify biases in the workplace-Why are we so far behind on age inclusion within diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) programs?-What can organizations do to address age bias in the workplace?-What does the latest research on Language Bias in Performance Feedback say, and where can people find a copy of the report?-How Textio helps uplift individuals of all ages with the work that they do-What can you do to thrive in the workplace, regardless of age?And much more.Resources:-Language Bias in Performance Feedback - 2023 Data Analysis and Survey Results: https://textio.com/resources-Leveraging the Value of an Age-Diverse Workforce: https://www.shrm.org/foundation/ourwork/initiatives/the-aging-workforce/Documents/Age-Diverse%20Workforce%20Executive%20Briefing.pdfConnect with Sandy Matus:-Website: https://textio.com/-LinkedIn:

“Statistics show that productivity and the delivery of innovation is much higher with diversity in your teams. I'm passionate about really helping people think about it bigger than just gender or race. It's diversity of thought”, says Sandy. “A few weeks ago, the new Head of our Global Risk Analytics team was observing a group going through a presentation. It wasn't just pages being put together and somebody talking through each slide, they were really debating what they were bringing to the client. It was watching diversity of thought in action.”Sandy charts her early career journey from banking through the non-profit sector to her current role at Aon, and the common theme of workforce transformation and change management through each role. “I've always looked at leadership and how we make workforce decisions for people. People are my passion and helping them find pleasure and purpose in their work.”Sandy emphasizes how the insurance industry needs to do a better job of attracting talent. "If you think about reinsurance from a training perspective, it really is three renewal cycles before someone really understands the nuances. For the generation that's rising, that's a long time. We have to do a better job of creating excitement and a value proposition of what this insurance career journey could be. We have to tell the insurance story better.”Sandy gives insight in to her Global Chief People Officer role overseeing 3400 reinsurance colleagues and an additional 500 in the Strategy & Technology group. She highlights the importance of innovative leadership at a time of incredible global change and stresses the key role inclusivity plays in developing diverse insurance leaders across the business. “There's gender, there's ethnicity and there's also perspective and socioeconomic differences. Having an inclusive diverse team is super important. The segmentation strategy we have has really been key to bringing more opportunities for diverse leaders to be given their voice and learning how to lead across the firm.”Sharing the dramatic impact using Textio in job adverts has had on creating a more diverse candidate pool, Sandy demonstrates how it's used on wider marketing and people manager training to ensure talent retention in the face of rising private-equity backed competition. “Retaining talent in reinsurance with the explosion of these disruptors that are coming in. There are not just two or three main reinsurance brokers anymore. We've got some emerging private equity firms backing the development of firms to compete against us and a lot of what they're selling is the opportunity to build something. But I will always say if you really want to be the best at what you do for your clients, Aon has invested in the tools and technologies.”Sandy gives her advice to insurance executives coming to interview at Aon as well as how insurance industry people leaders can build the best teams for their organizations. “We're all trying to build the best team for our clients and for our organization. As someone who is trying to serve the people, you want it to be a good fit, a win-win. When I lose people to a competitor, this is a small world here and it's really important that we exit as respectfully as we enter.”Sandy concludes with the one lesson her job has taught her that she thinks everyone should know. “People matter in a way that you don't realize. Our words are impactful. We all create a culture. It's not just the leaders, we're all responsible for that. We spend so much time at work. It's really important to me that people enjoy what they do and they enjoy the people they're with. It's up to us to develop a culture where all people can grow and feel connected and be valued, seen and heard.”Connect with Sandy Locke on LinkedIn

Caleb and Adriele reflect on a difficult week of news out of Israel and Palestine—including how leaders should or shouldn't be responding—before diving into proposed AI-generated content watermarks, the latest in politics and strike news, and CEOs predicting we'll be back in the office five days a week by 2026. (Good luck with that.) Then they return to the war in Israel as a case study to talk about the state of the social media information ecosystem in 2023. Then, they go deep on a new study that shows low quality feedback makes employees want to quit. All that, plus California is mandating diversity data from VC firms and a new A.I. tool is helping with surgery for brain tumors on the operating table.

We've reported on the mass layoffs in tech that have been happening since last fall. And that has many in the industry worried about what that means for diversity in tech. There are now indications a slowdown in hiring could affect industry efforts for more diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, according to Textio, a company that helps create job ads. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams spoke with Christie Lindor, a diversity strategist and CEO of Tessi Consulting, who warns the tech industry in particular should be careful about cutting these roles.

One of the reasons why hiring people from underrepresented groups as the first stage is wrong is because you have people from underrepresented groups that are there. Ask them about their experiences. What do they would they like to see? What do they think are missing? Because they're having the conversations whether you know it […] The post Episode 379: How to Create a Sense of Belonging With Jackye Clayton From Textio appeared first on Workology.

This episode packs a punch. In less than a half hour, LeeRon Yahalomi gives UpdateAI CEO Josh Schachter a handful of great insights on how to lead great customer success organizations. And she's speaking from experience. LeeRon recently joined Regie.ai as its head of customer success, after serving as VP of sales and CS at Textio for more than three years. 

Jackye Clayton (VP of TA and DE&I) at Textio talks with Mark Feffer about employee engagement tools, culture fits, customizable solution to employee solutions, and whether we have leaned too far into technology in the HR space. People get so hyper focused on their deliverables that they seem to forget that humans are behind it all. Employee engagement tools seem to be a way to bring a human element back into HR. We have to make sure we're taking care of our employees to give them the opportunity for them to be their authentic selves. Human resources traditionally helped to protect the company and to ensure compliance, yet nowadays it feels like it's actually becoming what the title suggests. We have tools to clock into work on our phones, conveniently request time off, or discuss important issues through an online portal instead of the anxiety of addressing another human. These technologies have both benefits and issues, though. Removing all of these vectors of human interactions could make an employee feel as if the company is not a set of people, but a structured platform of programs. It's important to balance carefully between technological advancement while also retaining the human element. We would like to extend a warm thank you to our friends at Fuel50 for sponsoring this podcast.

When I'm prepping for a keynote, I love to spend time talking to the client about their DEI goals and current state. Between all these conversations, research for 5 Things, and research for my book, Inclusive 360, I think I figured out the winning formula for meaningful DEI progress: Purpose + Strategy + Accountability (PSA). It sounds simple but we all know it's not easy. Let me break it down:Purpose must be a people-first message that employees can rally around. Leaders should also share their own individual purposes.Strategy must be holistic and organization-wide, not simply workshops and coaching, not simply hiring more underrepresented talent.Accountability must be for all managers, or everyone, if you'd like, where engagement in or progress on DEI goals is a part of performance reviews.Consider Purpose + Strategy + Accountability (PSA) as a three-legged stool that wobbles depending on what's missing (a metaphor borrowed from the book Unleashed). In a short conversation with a client, that framework will allow our team to quickly identify the areas of opportunity that can move the needle most quickly. I love that we get to do this stuff!Here are the good vibes I found this week:LinkedIn Adds New Accessibility Features, Including Auto-Captions on VideosSoftware Helps Employers Fix Problematic Feedback Language Before It's Delivered‘The Whole Country Shines With a Huge Rainbow': Same-Sex Marriage Legal in All Mexican StatesDiwali Will Be a Public School Holiday in New York City Starting in 2023Disney Expands Costume Options For Children With DisabilitiesRead the full blog here: https://www.theequalityinstitute.com/equality-insights-blog/5-things-the-dei-psaTo learn more about Toby and his company, Mildon - visit: https://www.mildon.co.uk/ Join thousands of readers by subscribing to the 5 Things newsletter.

“But my other favorite thing about the confidence piece, as someone who can be very anxious and nervous myself, is that sometimes it's valuable not to be confident. And there is this piece in the book about how everyone would benefit if, when you're making decisions, you start off in an information gathering stage. And instead of being super confident when you're trying to gather data, you turn down your confidence, be not confident at all, be confused, be concerned, be anxious. Gather all the data, as many differing viewpoints as possible. Once you've figured out the right answer with all the humility that you could possibly have, jack up your confidence and then you execute. And this idea that confidence can be on a dial and there's value in not being confident sometimes is something that I was never taught. And that feels very reassuring to learn,” so says Julia Boorstin, who has spent over two decades as a reporter, working for CNBC, CNN, and Fortune. She's also the creator of the “Disruptor 50” franchise, a list which highlights private companies transforming the economy and challenging companies in established industries. Her first book, When Women Lead, draws on her work studying and interviewing hundreds of executives throughout her impressive career to tell the stories of more than 60 female CEOs and leaders who have fought massive social and institutional headwinds to run some of the world's most innovative and successful companies.  Combining years of academic research and interviews, Julia reveals these women's powerful commonalities—they are highly adaptive to change, deeply empathetic in their management style, and much more likely to integrate diverse points of view into their business strategies. This makes these women uniquely equipped to lead, grow businesses, and navigate crises in ways where their male counterparts don't seem as gifted.  Today's episode digs into Boorstin's meticulously researched book as we cover a few of the female tendencies that correlate with great leadership: how women embrace the role of fire-prevention as opposed to fire fighting; their ability to avoid ethical quandaries and group think; and the value of gaining confidence through experience. The monoculture tends to focus on iconic female leaders, she tells us, but there is so much more to gain from focusing on the stories that are not being told, expanding the diversity of images of success for women and men alike.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Female qualities correlate with great leadership… Women as fire preventers… The myth of the confidence gap… Feedback bias… MORE FROM JULIA BOORSTIN: When Women Lead: What They Achieve, Why They Succeed, and How We Can Learn from Them CNBC Disruptor 50 Follow Julia on Instagram and Twitter DIVE DEEPER:  “Better Decisions Through Diversity: Heterogeneity Can Boost Group Performance,” Northwestern Kellogg School of Management Study  “How the VC Pitch Process Is Failing Female Entrepreneurs,” Harvard Business Review “Investors Prefer Entrepreneurial Ventures Pitched by Attractive Men,” Harvard Kennedy School Gender Action Portal “The Remarkable Power of Hope,” Psychology Today “Language Bias in Performance Feedback,” Textio 2022 Study To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In our next installment of the roundtable we're tackling this topic and welcoming Jackye Clayton, VP of Talent Acquisition and DEI at Textio to lead the conversation. Jacyke isn't just passionate about this topic, she's living it by implementing strategies that work: Prepping candidates Providing questions early Ensuring accommodations aren't creating bias But it's more than that; before, during, and after interviews life is happening to all candidates. Future employees have kids, parents, houses, life things. Life doesn't get put on hold so people can take time to make their next career move. Let's take a step back, remember that candidates are people - and make sure that they can thrive. Our goal as employers is to help them be successful - so they can thrive in their new role and be passionate about working for and with us.

What's the impact of the words we use? Augmented writing platform Textio uses machine learning and natural language processing to take the guesswork out of business communication, offering predictive analytics designed to help companies recruit a diverse workforce and build an inclusive culture.  The 120-person Seattle-based tech company, led by CEO Kieran Snyder, has been going through a transformation of its own during the past two years, expanding its product lineup while taking its own workforce fully remote, and recruiting more people outside the Seattle area. In the process, the company built its own in-house online tool for participatory time-boxed conversations, for team-building and collaboration among its employees. Dubbed "Umeo," it's not a product ... at least not yet.  Snyder, who was named the CEO of the Year in the 2021 GeekWire Awards, joins us on this episode of the GeekWire Podcast for a conversation about the importance of language, Textio's evolution, the future of workplace technology, regional differences in business language, and her formative experience as a "Scrabble hustler" in college in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square.
