How to cope with gender biased work environment ?

Sexual discrimination or gender bias, as defined by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is treating someone with less favor due to the person's sex, or association with people of a specific sex. Gender bias can involve employers showing preferential treatment based on sex when firing, hiring, promoting and determining wages, or co-workers making offensive remarks that create a hostile work environment. Whether you’re the victim or a witness, ignoring gender bias is not an appropriate method for dealing with it at work. Instead, take immediate action to protect yourself and your rights, and prevent future acts of discrimination.

Write down every detail that you can think of about the bias you experienced or witnessed as accurately and clearly as possible. Include the date and time the event occurred and the names of anyone who witnessed it. In addition, ask any co-workers who experienced or witnessed the bias incident to document the situation from their perspectives, and then make a copy of their statements for your records.

Report gender bias using a method outlined in your company’s discrimination policy. This may involve calling an anonymous tip or emergency hotline, filling out an online complaint form or approaching your manager or Human Resources representative with a written copy of your complaint, which explains how you personally experienced or witnessed gender bias at work.

Request that your employer require that all employees take a sexual discrimination refresher training seminar to re-emphasize company policy, explore gender bias issues at work and discuss methods for employees to recognize, confront and cope with discrimination.

File a complaint through a government agency or representative if you get no assistance from your employer. If you’re a non-federal worker, go to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Filing a Charge of Discrimination Web page and follow the on-screen instructions. In addition, file through your state’s fair employment agency -- ask your local EEOC field office for contact information -- and your union, if applicable. If you’re a federal worker, contact your agency EEO counselor immediately and review the Overview Of Federal Sector EEO Complaint Process Web page for details about the process.

Contact a legal services organization such as the Equal Rights Advocates (see Resources) if you need legal advice about the situation or about filing a lawsuit against your employer.
