Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together
English | 2026 | ISBN-10: 1647826829 | 256 pages| PDF
How outdated work norms undermine careers, caregiving, and gender equity—and how leaders can fix the system.
The workplace is broken—and it's holding everyone back. Women still
struggle to grow in their careers, while men who endeavor to do their
part at home are often stigmatized. This disconnect means that even when
men take part in flexible work arrangements or contribute to
caregiving, women end up picking up the slack and missing out on
professional opportunities.
If companies want to reach their full
potential and achieve true fairness at work, the workplace must
change—and it starts at the top. In Fair Share, gender-in-the-workplace
experts W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith offer a blueprint for how
leaders can break down systemic barriers across the organization so that
men can do more outside of paid work and women can take their rightful
place in the ranks of corporate leadership. They suggest focusing on
three key areas
Rethinking company culture and the structure of work
Going all-in on caregiving options and employee benefits
Making gender fairness routine through process and policies
