The interactive media shows four cards with a topic heading on each. Selecting or clicking each card reveals additional text about the topic.
Top left card: Communication styles
Revealed text: Gender can impact how people communicate at work. What they say and do, as well as what they expect from others, can be influenced by gender stereotypes, non-verbal cues and power relationships. You’ll cover this topic area in Unit 2.
Top right card: Leadership
Revealed text: Chairing a meeting is a form of leadership. Different forms of leadership can promote or reduce equal and fair participation from meeting attendees. This is covered in detail in Unit 3.
Bottom left card: Humour
Revealed text: Workplace humour can serve many different purposes. It can be a great tool for building relationships among colleagues and teams, but it can also be used to undermine a person or even become a means of bullying. Humour at work and in online meetings is covered in Unit 4.
Bottom right card: Time
Revealed text: Time is precious and most people feel they do not have enough of it at work. Distribution of time at work affects men and women differently, particularly those who have competing work–life commitments. Unit 5 covers time and gender inequality.
