Jennifer draws on Catalyst’s research and Men at Work to empower leaders to advance real workplace inclusion by embracing gender partnership and equity.
Reframe the conversation around inclusion
The Catalyst book, Men at Work, shines a light on a group too often overlooked in conversations around women’s advancement: men. It offers research-backed insights, practical solutions, and powerful stories from the workplace — calling on all of us in leadership to engage as “gender partners” to create change that drives workplace fairness and inclusion for all.
