Documented Disconnect: Gender Bias in Onboarding Technical Documents

Free

There is a growing interest in male-dominated industries and the challenges women face finding acceptance within the professional community. One reason the glass ceiling persists is that women receive different developmental experiences during their careers. Yet there seems to be little research on how gender bias in training documents may isolate and limit access for women who pursue careers in male-dominated industries. We will take a look at the FAA’s (Federal Aviation Administration) online library for flight instructors and students to address the use of gender-specific pronouns and examples of how to write more inclusive, technical documents.

Free STC Member-Only Webinar: The Importance of Governance in Regulated Content Copy

Free

Governance may not be a “four letter word” but in many organizations that’s exactly how it’s treated. Governance is key in all organizations that create content, and it’s especially important in regulated industries where content must be scrutinized and verified before it’s made available to the public. Often it’s blamed for slowing down the creative process, or increasing time-to-market. Those aren’t features of “governance”, but are indicative of a poor or inappropriate implementation. Join me as I explain why governance is important and how you can streamline your governance process.
