One idea for addressing gender issues in the workplace that I’ve particularly loved lately is creating and funding a full-time director of, or office of, work-life (or work-life resource center) with dedicated staff to provide and maintain resources. Creating something like this means funding staff who collect and maintain resources that are helpful to employees outside of work.

Shaping Women's Entrepreneurship for Global Success
University of Delaware online
2021-03-29
While the overall perception of female entrepreneurship may seem positive, the underlying reality of the success or failure of women entrepreneurs continues to be dynamically shaped by gender and culture. According to University of Delaware Professor of Management Amanda Bullough, both the business world and society-at-large need to pay more attention as to why these conditions persist.
A Gender Equitable Workplace | UDaily

We are at a time in history when it may seem that a lot of gender equality progress has been made. While abuse still happens, we collectively know that sexual harassment isn’t allowed and shouldn’t be tolerated. We know that we’re not supposed to ask a job applicant if she or he is planning to have children. Some of these types of behaviors go against company policy and some are outright illegal.

What About Us? Fostering Authenticity in Entrepreneurship Education
Academy of Management Learning & Education2022 Entrepreneurship education can provide a space for exploring one’s authentic self. To investigate this, we employed thematic narrative analysis of qualitative data from an extreme sample: women survivors of violence. At the outset, the women storied that their sense of self was destabilized, yet, through the program, they began to understand and accept the self, believe in their own agency, and experienced a newfound vitality for their ventures and life.
Women’s entrepreneurship and culture: gender role expectations and identities, societal culture, and the entrepreneurial environment
Small Business Economics2022 Women’s entrepreneurship is increasingly important for creating new jobs and contributing to the social and economic growth of their societies, yet the interplay and nuances of women’s entrepreneurship and culture are currently understudied. In this special issue, we present eight empirical papers that delve into different aspects of the dynamic interaction between gender and culture in shaping women’s entrepreneurship.
Introduction to womens entrepreneurship and culture: socio-cultural dynamics, role-influenced behaviors and constraint negotiation
Women’s Entrepreneurship and Culture2021 Women’s entrepreneurship is pivotal for both national economic development and societal advancement, as it provides employment opportunities and promotes self-reliance (Elam et al., 2019; UN Women, 2020; Venkatesh et al., 2017; World Bank, 2012). Gender equality and the empowerment of women are an effective way to combat poverty, hunger and disease and to stimulate sustainable economic development (Neimanis and Tortisyn, 2003).
Motivational Tiered Assessment: A New Grading Approach for Motivating Information Systems Students
Communications of the Association for Information Systems2021 Academia places significant weight on grades as a metric to assess how much students have learned (Beatty, 2004). As a form of assessment, however, grades alone do not provide room for feedback and further student development. This paper offers a new direction to information systems (IS) programs to improve student motivation and better assess student learning—motivational tiered assessment (MTA)—that we propose overcomes these concerns.
How do resilience and self-efficacy relate to entrepreneurial intentions in countries with varying degrees of fragility? A six-country study
International Small Business Journal: Researching Entrepreneurship2020 Conflict, poverty and weak institutions create hardships for people, societies and economies on a global basis. We investigate macro-societal state fragility and stability. Within this context, and from a microfoundations perspective, we analyse individual-level constructs and particularly, the importance of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and individual resilience in forming the intent to start a business.
