Congratulations to the women and men who organized Google's global walkout in response to the revelations of systemic sexism in the business. Congratulations to the thousands of guys who left their office in solidarity with their female colleagues. And bravo of the empathy shown by Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, who did not stand in their way.
That the uproar at Google be heard by all employees of all US companies. Because chances are, they have worse than women at Google.
Statistically, Google is one of the best companies for women in business today. But do not take it from me, take it from the data. For three years, I've been working with Gender Fair, an organization that analyzes Fortune 500 corporate diversity metrics to create transparency and accelerate equality.
Gender Fair scrutinizes SEC filings and publicly available company information and assesses their loyalty. Some of the parameters evaluated are the proportion of women that a company has in management positions and within the board of directors; how fair is his work environment for all employees? if and how he invests in women and girls through his CSR; and whether his marketing perpetuates or breaks stereotypes.
Although data can never tell the whole culture of a company, Google stands out for its quality.
Only 16% of the nearly 300 companies analyzed by Gender Fair analyzed are even close to fair and equitable practices. Of these, only 14 achieve "A +" for leadership, employee, advertising and philanthropy policies. Count yourself among the lucky few if you work at Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly and Company, P & G, IBM, Microsoft, Diageo, JPMorganChase, Coca-Cola, HP, Danone, Metlife or L'Oreal.
Nearly one-third of the 300 companies surveyed suffer from a severe shortage of women entrepreneurs, parental leave and family-friendly policies and do not support philanthropic organizations of women and girls very much.
Look at the most important industries in the United States and you'll find only one airline that meets the most basic standards of gender equality. And just a fast food company, if you count Starbucks. But none of the big shoe companies make the cut – and these are companies that rely primarily on women to generate profits. Skechers, one of the most highly rated companies analyzed, has boldly refused shareholder requests asking a woman to be part of its board of directors.
"While it is enlightening to call the failing companies, it is more important to know which companies are working to fill the equity gap," said Johanna Zeilstra, CEO of Gender Fair. "We can all use this information to promote equality by supporting the most equitable businesses as consumers, employees and investors."
As Claire Stapleton, a Google employee who helped organize the walkout, said, New York Times, "Google is famous for its culture. But in reality, we do not even meet the basics of respect, justice and fairness for every person here. "
If Google does not follow some important basic principles, imagine how companies like JetBlue, Burger King, Kraft and Choice Hotels demonstrate respect, fairness and fairness. Each of these employers has gloomy statistics on gender, ranking among the last in their sector.
Compare Google to your business: Google's new parents get 18 weeks of fully paid time off. Women @ Google, its largest network of employees, offers mentoring and professional development to employees in 45 countries. She has also produced a "We Love You Project" designed to stimulate a company-wide conversation about what it means to be black in America. Google has put its philanthropic weight behind organizations that support women and girls, such as GirlStart, Samasource, Black Girls Code and the Geena Davis Institute on gender in the media. And Google stands out as one of the few companies to separate and publish employee data about Latina and women of color, thus showing exactly where the major gaps in equity are. What does your company do?
To be clear, Google is not a perfect company. There is no gender balance among its officers, officers and board of directors. But no company in the Gender Fair database does this. There are allegations that Google has not been transparent about pay inequality, does not promote enough women of color, and the process of reporting sexual misconduct is summary. Unfortunately, this may be true for almost all major American companies.
Allegations of sexual harassment are outrageous, but for some, even though Google may be under the impression, its corporate policies are well above others in terms of total fairness. This says a lot about the actions needed in many American companies today.
In the past 20 years, Google has been one of the most innovative technology companies. It's amazing that Google is meeting employee expectations, taking the lead in business innovation, and becoming America's first and truly fair business.
Compared to most companies, Google is not so far.
