Event Details
Every organization has "non-promotable tasks," or NPTs, that need to be done but go largely unrewarded: taking notes, planning parties, filling in for others, or handling that low-revenue and time-consuming client.
In The No Club, professors Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund, and Laurie Weingart document that women are disproportionately asked and expected to do this work.
The authors walk individuals through how to change their workload, empowering women to make strategic decisions about the work they take on. They also shine a light on how organizations can reassess how they assign and reward work.
Women and allies to women alike will benefit from this book talk and workshop.
