Rework Work

Women’s Rights Are Human Rights—But That’s Still Up for Debate Today is International Women’s Day, and while there’s plenty to celebrate, there’s also plenty to fight for. Women are still paid less. Still underrepresented in leadership. Still expected to work harder for the same recognition. And for women of color, the gaps are even wider. Right now, we’re witnessing a deliberate pushback against the progress we’ve fought for. DEI programs are being dismantled. Reproductive rights are under attack. The fight for fair pay is far from won. So today, let’s honor women by taking action—standing up, speaking out, and refusing to let inequality be written into policy. Women’s rights aren’t a trend. They’re non-negotiable. Equality isn’t a one-day conversation. It’s an everyday commitment. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #GenderEquity #DEI #WomensRights #PayEquity #ReworkWork

I’ve been thinking a lot about everything that’s happening right now. From immigration issues to the challenges facing transgender individuals, and let’s not forget the ongoing conflicts in Palestine and Ukraine—there’s just so much. It’s hard to even know where to start. People keep asking me, “What can we do?” And honestly, I’ve been sitting with that question myself. The truth is, there’s no easy answer. But here’s what I keep coming back to: What’s within your control? You might not be able to change policies or end global conflicts overnight. But you do have control over how you show up—how you treat the people around you, how you use your voice, and how you choose to act with compassion and intention. Adversity isn’t new—it’s something humanity has always faced in different forms. But how we respond to it? That’s what defines us. We’ll get through this together. #ReworkWork #Leadership #CompassionInAction #InclusiveCulture #CommunityMatters

It’s hard not to feel the weight of what’s happening right now. DEI is under attack, and many of you have reached out, asking “What do we do now?” The resistance we’re seeing is real, and it’s frustrating. This work has always been about disruption, evolution, and innovation. That hasn’t changed. Leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about being agile, learning, and adapting when the road gets tough. We have to ask ourselves: How do we keep showing up? How do we keep pushing forward when the system pushes back? Here’s my recommendation: ???? Keep disrupting the status quo. ???? Evolve how we show up in workplaces and in our communities. ???? Innovate, finding new ways to push for equity and inclusion. This is the work we’ve been doing, and it’s the work we’ll continue to do. Adversity has always been part of this journey, and what matters most is how we rise to meet it. #ReworkWork #DEI #Leadership #InclusiveWorkplace #CommunityMatters #InclusionAtWork #InclusionWorks #LeadWithInclusion

At Rework Work, we know upskilling and inclusion leads to retention!

In a LinkedIn Live, Stacey Gordon, Founder of Rework Work and Executive Advisor and Diversity Strategist, talked with Trish Lindo, Personal Branding Architect & LinkedIn Strategist, to explore the complexities of unconscious bias. Unconscious bias acts like a mental shortcut—our brains quickly categorize people influenced by our surroundings, including social, cultural, and religious norms. ?? While 'bias' often carries a negative connotation, it's important to recognize it's not inherently harmful. It's simply a behavioral response, and with over 150 types of biases, our interactions are complex layers of these ingrained perceptions. ?? Insightful Takeaway: Recognizing and addressing these biases involves more than acknowledging their existence; it requires understanding their layered impact on our everyday interactions and decision-making processes. ?? Let's learn how to recognize and navigate our biases together for a more inclusive world. ??

In a recent LinkedIn Live, Stacey Gordon and Marielle Legair, Personal Brand Trainer, discussed what they’ve called the Great Disconnect between employers and employees. While employees are re-evaluating their workplace needs post-pandemic, companies that fail to adapt are being left behind. Employees now prioritize well-being, flexibility, and respect, but many employers still rely on outdated practices. Stacey emphasized that employees are no longer focused solely on their paycheck—they’re reconsidering how they’re treated in the workplace. Leaders must recognize this shift and move beyond performance metrics to address deeper concerns about company culture and employee experience. ?? Leaders: The time for change is now. Employees are seeking workplaces that align with their values and offer the flexibility they need to thrive. Start by asking yourself: How can I create an environment that reflects the evolving needs of my workforce? ?? Discussion: What steps is your organization taking to bridge the gap between employee expectations and company practices?

Achieving the "gold medal" in recruiting means more than just filling a position. It's about finding candidates who can perform exceptionally well in their roles and significantly enhance your company’s cultural dynamics. ???? Stacey Gordon, executive advisor and workplace culture consultant at Rework Work,?highlights the inherent challenges in quantifying this metric effectively. She points out that the traditional methods, which might only focus on the early stages of employment, fail to capture the long-term value a new hire brings to the company. Stacey advocates for a broader evaluation timeframe, suggesting that truly understanding a new hire's impact requires assessments extending up to 18 months to see how they evolve and integrate within their role and the company culture.? ?? Your hiring metrics must keep pace with the comprehensive needs of your organization. Extending evaluation periods could lead to more informed hiring decisions and foster a more inclusive workplace culture. ?? Want more insights like this?
