Every day, we use language which subtly constructs and reinforces traditional views of masculinity in the workplace.

In this episode of Ibec Responds, Kara McGann, Head of Skills and Social Policy at Ibec, is joined by Dr. Robert Lawson, Associate Professor in Sociolinguistics at Birmingham City University. They discuss how language is used to construct masculinity, the challenges men face in the workplace, and how employers can create more inclusive cultures.
