Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create More Equitable Workplaces Together
Utahns know the truth: our workplaces weren’t built for today’s families — and everyone is paying the price. Women continue to face stalled careers and limited access to leadership, while men who step up at home often face stigma or subtle penalties at work. The result? Women carry more of the caregiving load, men struggle to fully participate in family life, and Utah organizations lose out on the talent, innovation, and leadership they desperately need. In their new book Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together, renowned gender‑in‑the‑workplace scholars W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith argue that the system — not individual women or men — is the real barrier. And they offer a bold, research‑backed blueprint for leaders who are ready to fix it. Join Dr. Susan Madsen, founding director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project, for a timely conversation with Brad and David as we explore what Utah companies can do right now to redesign work in ways that strengthen families, expand leadership pipelines, and unleash the full potential of both women and men.
