And I'll tell you, there's a lot they can do, and it's in our report, and it's completely legal.
So for example, feedback.
1% of men get style-based feedback in performance reviews, and 66% of women.
What can companies do?
You establish criteria in advance that everyone agrees to that are universally applied.
Everyone gets this kind of feedback that is not just legally permissible, but allowed and encouraged and creates a level playing field.
This isn't about special treatment.
This is about giving everyone the opportunity to do their best work and contribute.
I don't think that's exactly what happened in that meeting, and Mark went out and publicly posted and clarified.
But here's what I would say, is that every company, including Meta, has the opportunity to make sure that they're fair to women.
Here's what the data shows us over and over and over again.
So many examples.
When a man and woman ask for raises or promotions, the woman's 30% more likely to be told she's too aggressive.
What do you do?
Standardize your processes.
Every company should be doing it.
So, for example, interviews.
If you don't have agreed upon questions you ask, naturally, and maybe not on purpose, but naturally, people sometimes ask the easier questions to the men and the harder questions to the women.
Just standardize your questions.
Put systems in place that protect people, but also that just give people the opportunity to contribute.
