Gender Issues
- Although somewhat dated, in this chapter, Desmarais and Alksnis provide a comprehensive review of the vast body of research related to gender, work, and stress. While men and women may cope with stress in similar ways, the nature and level f work stress can be due to factors that are unique to one or the other sex. Learn more about these factors by reading this chapter.
Workplace and Gender: Overview
- For more up to date statistics pay particular attention to the sections on "Power Differentials," "Employment Patterns," "Gender Gap in Salary," and "Work-Life Balance."
A Workplace Divided
- While much of the research in the workplace still focuses on males and females, recent data does exist on the experience of LGBTQ individuals in the workplace.
Sexual Harassment
- Sexual harassment is a familiar topic today, but what are the two types of harassment, how prevalent are they, and how do social scientists explain this abusive behavior?
Bullying in the Workplace
- Bullying is also a familiar topic today, but mostly within a school context. What happens when school bullies grow up? Do they grow out of their bullying behavior? This article tackles this troubling subject.

Sexual Harassment, Same-Sex
- As a subset of interpersonal violence, same-sex sexual harassment has received less attention in the literature. Nevertheless, for victims, it can be the source of lifelong mental health challenges whether it occurs in a school or work environment.

Instructions
See the attached outline to help you structure the assignment: I highly recommend it!
Training Program Design Project
Purpose: This activity assesses your comprehension of course materials
Guidelines: You have been hired to consult at a large corporation/company on these TWO projects:
1. Design a training course to help employees deal with gender issues at work.
2. Write a training report reflecting how your course will improve understanding and ways of relating among employees and make recommendations.
TRAINING COURSE: (1st required part)
Imagine that men and women at the corporation gathered to discuss their observations, experiences, and concerns regarding gender relations at work and attend training. The participants in your training course represent management at all levels as well as diverse administrative, technical, and intern personnel. Imagine that 12 employees/participants introduced themselves to you and stated a problem they noticed at work. For example, your participants may cite a general problem such as pay and power differences or may state their experiences of gender identification.
Introduction of the Twelve Participants
Imagine 12 diverse individuals who elected to share their experiences with you and attend training with peers. In the first section of your training program, present each individual as follows: (Hint: use a heading with 12 subheadings to organize).
· Give each individual a name and identify him or her in your report with details including age, gender, ethnicity, and position (power level) at the corporation. Each participant's identity descriptor should include a statement of the problems he or she has perceived at work. State the problems as if you are quoting the participant. Because this is an imaginary training group, you must place yourself in the shoes of each of your 12 participants and explain the problem from each unique perspective.
Training Program/Design
In response to the problems the participants presented, create an eight-part/session course. Your course sessions are designed to help participants better understand and respond to gender issues.
For each of the eight training sessions, include the following: (use a heading for each of the 8 sessions and subheadings for content within)
· TITLE: Give the session title (focus of the session).
· OBJECTIVES: State the session's objective or objectives- (use objectives as identified in our course/learning).
· PROBLEM: State the participant problem(s) you will address in this specific session. Since there are 8 training sessions to cover 12 disclosed problems, you may find that some can be combined/generalized.
· 1 JOURNAL AND 1 WEBPAGE: Name one peer reviewed journal article and/or module resources relevant to the issues brought up by the training participants; include the reference and title. Also, include a link to a relevant website that pertains to your training objective. Briefly state what it is. This article and website serve as additional resources for the training. For example, you could find a step-by-step guide on how to handle harassment or an article on the importance of gender sensitive communication in the workplace.
· ACTIVITY: Develop and describe the activity for the session. We learn from each other when we listen and reflect on the experiences of others. Create and describe, in good detail, an activity that will promote discussion among your participants. Use a variety of activities that promote empathy, action, and solutions.
FINAL TRAINING REPORT (2nd required part)
Your goal for the training PROGRAM was for participants to gain the knowledge and skills they need to return to work and effectively contribute to an environment that promotes respect, gender awareness, and efforts to balance power among men and women.
Final Training Report: Your goal for the training REPORT is to provide support for the necessity and benefits of your gender training to the company utilizing what you know about gender influences and issues (see below). Additionally, you will offer recommendations to the company to address the issues presented in your training.
**In designing your training program and in forming your training report to the company make sure to consider and include the following information to support your need and support for training in gender (generalize it to the workplace); identify key gender issues and expectations; state how your training will benefit the company; AND make recommendations as explained below.
· Culture and history: describe cultural and historical influences on conceptions of gender and other forms of diversity
· Gender differences: discuss research findings on gender differences and similarities in aggression, achievement, and communication
· Relationships: identify gender issues in friendships and romantic relationships
· Gender expectations: explain the impact of gender, gender role expectations, and gender stereotypes on work roles and physical and mental health
Make recommendations: Describe four to six specific changes you will recommend to the corporate leaders that address the concerns presented by your training participants. Be specific. You can list these in bullet format if you’d like.
Grading Rubric
This project is worth a maximum of 100 points. Your grade will be based on the depth, clarity, application, and details specific to gender issues.
Twelve participants: State the problems relevant to gender concerns at the corporation from the viewpoint of 12 participants who are taking your training (30 points).
Training program with eight sessions: Describe each session (30 points).
Final training report: Include four to six recommendations for the corporation (30 points).
Journal articles and Web sites: List journal article(s) and Web site(s) relevant to the project. Include citations and references formatted to conform to APA guidelines (10 points).
,
The instructions for the final project are standardized and provided by the department, meaning I can’t change them.
However, here are some pointers and key areas of focus to help you navigate this project! Use this in conjunction with your syllabus instructions and read the syllabus instructions VERY carefully, pay attention to the requirements embedded in the sentences. In fact, I would construct each heading and subheading according to the required areas listed in your instructions. Here are some formatting directions for subheadings and a rough example for organization of your project with subheadings.
APA Headings Level Formatting Guidelines:
1 Centered, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase
2 Left-aligned, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Heading (begin body on next line with a normal indent)
3 Indented, boldface, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
4 Indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period .
5 Indented, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
EXAMPLE:
Introduction and Identification of Problems (1st level)
Participant Name and Problem #1
(You will do this 12 times) (2nd level subheading, left justified, paragraph begins
next line after heading-double space. I will not double space the rest of this example to save space, but don’t forget to do it! Make sure you check your settings to be a true double space-nothing less and nothing more)
Training Program: Session One (8 of these)
Session One Title (2nd level)
Gender and Hostility in the Workplace
Objectives (2nd level)
The goal of this course is to
· define gender,
· define hostility,
· identify areas of hostility…(You can use bullets and or level three subheadings to list/organize).
Problem (2nd level)
State the participants problem(s) you will address with this session
Journal articles and websites
Journal. List one peer review (ACADEMIC) article that is relevant to the issue/problem using an APA formatted reference. Provide a brief summary.
Website. List one website that is relevant to the issue/problem and put into APA formatted reference. Provide a brief summary of what it is.
Activity
Create and describe an activity that will promote discussion and understanding among the participants. Vary the delivery, activities, and be creative.
Provide enough information in the breakdown of the activity that someone could replicate your activity in a general way. For example, you don’t have to list every item on a survey, but you could state that you took an anonymous survey on attitudes about gender biases to gauge understanding on an issue before asking participants to brainstorm examples of overt biases and less overt biases. Then, you had a discussion or maybe a guest speaker to share an experience to promote deeper understanding and empathy before the group identified ways they could improve.
Session Two (Centered, bold)
Session Two Title
Objectives
Problem
Journal Articles/Websites
You can put the link of the site here with an APA formatted reference for each, and you won’t need to do it again on a reference page.
Activity
…… continue to do this for the 8 sessions.
Final Training Report (see syllabus for guidelines for content)
Culture/History
Gender Differences
Relationships
Gender Expectations
Benefits of This Training Course
Recommendations for Change (4 -6 of them)
Recommendation one. Your text begins after period
Recommendation two. .
Your last page of the report is your Reference page, and it only contains references used as support in your paper. You do not need to repeat the website/article references embedded in the sessions IF YOU LISTED THEM THERE AS A FULL REFERENCE as instructed. Reference page is also APA formatted. Pay attention to exact format and hanging indent (2nd line is indented). Double space each line! The title “References” will be at the top of the page.

Your ENTIRE project submission must be in “loose” APA format, meaning you have leniency in terms of title page, headers etc. and can take some creative liberties… but all in-text citations and the reference page should be APA formatted. Whatever you do, make sure it is well organized and easy for me to see all the required elements.
· Present a cover/title page; this does not have to be APA formatted.
· All subsequent pages are your participants complaints, your training program, and your training report.
· Follow it up with an APA formatted reference page if you cited borrowed information. Make sure to use APA formatted in-text citations where applicable.
· Double space entire body, font 12, Times New Roman, 1” margins on all side, and use headings and subheadings to organize.
If you are not familiar with APA formatting, or even if you are and would like a good reference or view a SAMPLE PAPER (very helpful), my favorite APA site is Purdue Owl. Here is the link:
