Your Response Time

20% Slower

Did you know this month you responded to female colleagues 20% slower than you did to males?

Increased response times can occur for a variety of legitimate reasons, like different kinds of work you collaborate on with men vs women. Learn more under “Gut check” for questions you can ask yourself.

Gut check...

Increased response times can occur for a variety of legitimate reasons, like different kinds of work you collaborate on with men vs women. That said, here are some questions you can ask yourself:

 

– Is it possible that your being slower to respond could be creating delays in their workflow?

– Is it possible that your slower response time might make your female colleagues feel less included or prioritized?

If this is something you'd like to work on...

Consider thinking “am I treating messages equivalently” the next time you are opting to place a message from a female colleague on the back burner.

Did you know that people who set goals (even small ones like these) are more likely to improve because goals help trigger new behaviors and guide focus?

Goal: I want to improve by trying to respond 5% quicker to female colleagues.

 

Your Chatter

70% More

Did you know this month you sent 70% more words than you received from female collegues? That’s 2.5x the number of words they sent you.

Simply put, when speaking with females you talk more than they do. 

Speaking more times can occur for a variety of legitimate reasons, like different kinds of work you collaborate on with men vs women.  Learn more under “Gut check” for questions you can ask yourself.

Gut check...

– Is it possible that your speaking for the majority of the conversation could mean you are missing out on relevant details?

– Is it possible that your speaking for the majority of the conversation could make your female colleagues feel like you don’t value their opinion?

If this is something you'd like to work on...

When a conversation is wrapping up, check how much you’ve spoken versus a female colleague. If you’ve spoken much more, consider saying “Hey, I realize I’ve been doing the majority of talking here. Are there any other relevant details you’d like to mention here, or other topics you think we should discuss?

Did you know that people who set goals (even small ones like these) are more likely to improve because goals help trigger new behaviors and guide focus?

Goal: To inviting female colleagues to weigh in 2x more. 

 

Your Sentiment

Equal

You’re using an equal amount of positive sentiment with both men and women. An excellent example for equal treatment, good job!

Keep on doing what you’re doing.

You’ve worked hard and achieving sentiment equality is something to be proud of! Congratulations!

Now that you’ve achieved sentiment equality you can level up! Changed behaviour requires consistency which is why we suggest setting a goal to guide your focus and maintain sentiment equality over time.

To earn your Ambassador badge set goals to maintain your sentiment equality status.

Goal: Maintain equal sentiment toward male and female colleagues for 2 consecutive weeks.
