Support Women in STEM

Support Women in STEM

Based on the past mentoring programs and experiences, Women STEM-Up project has developed a mentoring program for female undergraduate students as mentees, and university staff and women STEM professionals as mentors. The project partners have now launched a call for mentors:  women STEM professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are interested or involved in supporting women in STEM fields. Whoever is committed and passionate about women staying in STEM fields and look for ways to inspire and support them, this is a great opportunity.

Remote Work Tips: How Couples Can Be a Team at Home to be Great at Work

Remote Work Tips: How Couples Can Be a Team at Home to be Great at Work

Gallup surveyed 21,543 U.S. employees and compared their well-being across three primary work environments: remote, hybrid, or on-site, and their findings are worthless.

Bridging the Gender Gap: Encouraging Men into Female-Dominated Jobs. An Experiment in Social Work.

Bridging the Gender Gap: Encouraging Men into Female-Dominated Jobs. An Experiment in Social Work.

The study suggests several avenues for future research to further understand and address gender imbalances in the workforce. One key area is exploring how different aspects of job design, beyond recruitment strategies, might influence men’s decisions to enter female-dominated fields. Additionally, investigating the long-term effects of these interventions on both male and female workers’ career progression and job satisfaction could provide a more complete picture of diversity and inclusion in these sectors. Finally, expanding the research to other industries and cultural contexts would help determine the broader applicability of these findings and refine strategies for fostering gender diversity across various industries.
