SINGAPORE: “Don’t run like a girl” was what Michael Tan used to say occasionally when he went jogging with his 12-year-old son. But he stopped doing so after attending a workshop on unconscious biases.

Called Men Advocating Real Change , it helps participants to identify gender biases through activities and dialogues spanning one and a half days. In Singapore, 56 employees, mostly senior managers and above, have attended the workshop this year. Slightly more than half were males. Women make up half of P&G’s manager positions in Asia Pacific, as well as 35 per cent of director- and higher-level executive roles. The latter is higher than an average of 10 per cent in Singapore, it added.

The company’s “safe environment” also means that Ms Tan, a mother of one, had no qualms telling her manager that she would have to sit out of a key annual conference this year as it clashed with her daughter’s PSLE exams.
