Gender diversity has been linked to positive business results. Yet limited data exist to characterize the gender landscape in health technology, a field that draws employees from both biomedical engineering and medicine. To better understand the state of gender diversity in this industry, we developed a survey to explore leadership representation and perceptions of workplace equality, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. Data from 400 + health technology professionals revealed that women are significantly underrepresented in senior leadership and that men and women experience the workplace differently. Men believe in greater numbers than females that senior leaders are focused on recruiting and promoting women, promotion criteria are equitable, and the major barrier to leadership roles for women is work/family balance. In contrast, women perceive a less meritocratic and inclusive workplace in which their ability to rise is hampered by exclusion from influential communication networks and stereotyping/bias. Perhaps as a result, more than one-third of female respondents are considering leaving their current jobs, citing dissatisfaction with management and a desire for greater advancement opportunities. This study highlights significant gender perception differences in health technology that require further study and proactive remediation for the field to fully realize the benefits of gender diversity.

《卫生技术中的性别观念分析:行动呼吁》。

性别多样性已与积极的业务成果联系在一起。然而,目前仅有有限的数据来描述卫生技术领域的性别格局,这一领域吸引了生物医学工程和医学领域的员工。为了更好地了解该行业的性别多样性状况,我们开展了一项调查,以探讨领导力代表以及对工作场所平等,工作满意度和工作与生活平衡的看法。来自400多位医疗技术专业人员的数据显示,高级领导层中女性的比例明显偏低,而男性和女性在工作场所的感受有所不同。与女性相比,男性相信高级领导者更着重于招募和晋升女性,晋升标准是公平的,而女性担任领导角色的主要障碍是工作/家庭平衡。相反,妇女认为自己的功绩较不包容,工作场所包容性较低,她们的成长能力受到有影响力的交流网络和陈规定型观念/偏见的排斥。也许是这样的结果,超过三分之一的女性受访者出于对管理的不满和对更大发展机会的渴望,正在考虑离开目前的工作。这项研究强调了卫生技术中明显的性别观念差异,需要对该领域进行进一步研究和积极补救,以充分实现性别多样性的益处。出于对管理的不满以及对更大发展机会的渴望。这项研究强调了卫生技术中明显的性别观念差异,需要对该领域进行进一步研究和积极补救,以充分实现性别多样性的益处。出于对管理的不满以及对更大发展机会的渴望。这项研究强调了卫生技术中明显的性别观念差异,需要对该领域进行进一步研究和积极补救,以充分实现性别多样性的益处。
