Communicating Gender at Work

 Chapter 9: Communicating Gender at Work – Organizational Communication

Communicating gender in Workplace can be important to prevent many of these problems, like unequal pay, sexual harassment and abuse, and other types of discriminations that can take place when it comes to gender. Gender at workplace is very important, as sad as it is people do treat others different when it comes to one’s gender. The benefit of communicating gender at work can apply to both females and males. As the years go by, the percentage of women working is getting higher and this is an important factor to note because it shows us that the role of gender being played is being eliminated. This is also important because the number of women working in “men-based jobs” and the number of men working in “female-based job” is also increasing. They are breaking the stereotypes of what gender should work in what field of a job, which is a huge improvement from if we look at it about 10 to 15 years ago maybe even less. big organizations have only men hired and no females and their sole excuse for this is that women can be too distracting for their male workers. When, this should not justify why they are so little females working in their organization when there are many ways this can be fixed. Both females and males go through this daily in their life because the field of work they are in is for the opposite gender.

How to Pitch a Brilliant Idea (Video)

In class we had a presentation about pitching a brilliant idea, and we were told to make a small video about a topic that we are passionate to talk about. It took me a long time to upload this video, not because it was hard to make but because it was hard for me to have a video of me seen by my whole class. To me presenting is easier than having a video that everyone can look back at any time they want, but I glad that we got to do something like this because it made me realize that in future I will need this sort of experience if I want to get my own business. I wish I had upload it sooner so that I would have gotten feedback on it. Even though the thought of having a video of me speaking was hard for me to process at first but as soon I uploaded it, my stress kind of went away.
