On THE NIGHTSHIFT with Tod Johnston on 6PR, Tod sat down with Gemma Lloyd, CEO of WORK180, to discuss the findings of a recent survey on men’s experiences with gender equity in the workplace. 

Featured in the Australian Financial Review, the survey revealed a growing sense of exclusion and fear among men when it comes to participating in gender equity discussions. Gemma highlighted the striking statistics: 69% of men who support gender equity initiatives feel unwelcome in these conversations, and the number climbs to 93% for those neutral on the issue.

A key factor driving this reluctance is the fear of cancel culture. The interview delved into how these sentiments are shaping workplace dynamics and what can be done to foster more inclusive discussions.
