Being "one of the guys" has always been seen as an achievement. A recognition of having made it. Oftentimes, 'guy' related phrases are thrown around, with the assumption that the noun covers the entire gender spectrum, just like most dictionaries define it.
But just who are the guys?
And why are we all forced to fit in as "one of the guys"?
Emily Nichols, Chief Connection Officer at Connect Better Inc., is on a mission to challenge the status quo by educating us on the importance of using inclusive language in the workplace. Through her experiences in never being able to meet the "guy" criteria in male-dominated fields, Emily offers valuable insights into how our language and physical work environments can perpetuate gender inequities.
On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, Emily shares her experiences and expertise on the changes we can all make in our use of language to foster a more equitable and supportive work environment.
