What Would A Women-Centered Workplace Look Like?

"While we’ve come a long way from the kind of sexist, racist office culture that was once depicted in Mad Men, masculinity is still deeply embedded in the DNA of the American workplace.

Their macro-aggressions are now microaggressions and their daily whiskey drink … well, in some cases, it’s still a daily whiskey drink. (And OK, some of their macro-aggressions survived, too.)

From the very architecture of our offices to the traditional structure of a 9-to-5 workday, our workplace culture was built with men in mind. But what would happen if we tore it all down and rebuilt it, from scratch, thinking about women instead? Ellevest CEO and co-founder Sallie Krawcheck used hard data to imagine what that looks like in a recent Op-Ed for Fast Company."
