Issues of equality and diversity might not seem at the forefront of our everyday working lives- but maybe this is simply because these get overlooked in the stress of our workplace environment? Ironic perhaps, when our responses to that stress feed into exactly that debate..
I saw this piece in The Guardian today: http://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2015/dec/18/crying-workplace-psychology-sexism-apprentice and was particularly interested in the gender section towards the end. Admittedly, this might be because I tend to diffuse my stress by letting off 'emotional' steam; this seems very natural, authentic response for me-and not an issue of professionalism or gender-stereotyped behaviour at all.
Does anyone else have any thoughts?
