“Employment procedures that are unwittingly biased towards men are an issue in promotion as well as hiring. A classic example comes from Google, where women weren't nominating themselves for promotion at the same rate as men. This is unsurprising: women are conditioned to be modest, and are penalised when they step outside of this prescribed gender norm [...] their [Google] solution was not to fix the male-biased system: it was to fix the women. Senior women at Google started hosting workshops 'to encourage women to nominate themselves''.”
