DID YOU KNOW?

Every workplace has tasks that need to be completed but are often unrewarded with raises and promotions, and women are the ones that most often do these thankless tasks. This contributes to women’s work overload and slows their career advancement. Instead, women need to be empowered to say NO to unrewarded work.

The Eli Broad College of Business and College of Social Science are partnering with the Department of Economics, and the Center for Gender in Global Context, to bring Lise Vesterlund, one of the authors of The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work to the campus of MSU. Lise will bring strategies for crafting an effective no, maximizing promotable tasks, and avoiding overload.

ABOUT LISE VESTERLUND

Lise Vesterlund is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh and the Director of the Pittsburgh Experimental Economics Laboratory (PEEL) and of the Behavioral Economic Design Initiative (BEDI). Her highly influential research on gender differences in advancement has been featured in New York Times, Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Washington Post, The Economist, Time Magazine, and Harvard Business Review. Her co-authored book “The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work,” documents that women are disproportionately asked and expected to take on assignments that go unrewarded, leaving women overcommitted and underutilized as companies forfeit revenue and top talent
