Abstract
This paper examines how masculine defaults reinforce gender biases and adversely affect men and
women. It poses two critical research questions relating to how masculine defaults manifest in
modern corporate policies and the impacts they have on gender equity within these environments.
Employing a mixed-methods approach that incorporates case studies and content analysis, this
research aims to provide new insights into the interaction between gender norms and corporate
culture. It further proposes systematic changes to promote a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
The findings of the paper demonstrate that by devising creative policies and schemes that consider
equality and adaptability as altruistic factors, workplaces can create environments in which all
members, regardless of gender, can develop themselves both privately and vocationally.
