Scenario 1:Have a conversation with your manager regarding potentially discriminatory behaviour

Imagine you are a female employee atGelos enterprises who was not promoted despite having the same experience and skills as your male co-worker who was promoted.

You believe that this is due to gender bias, as many other female colleagues discussed last year. You must talk to your manager to understand why you were not promoted. For this task, you will need to:

1. Prepare for the discussion by identifying the conversation requirements using the following Conversation builder template.

What is the concern/issue that needs to be addressed? Ensure this is stated in detail with no ambiguity.
2 Who are the stakeholders need to be involved for resolution?
3 Why is this conversation required?
What is the ideal outcome that is expected?
4 What will be the ideal mode of communication to achieve a quick resolution? Consider if an email will do the job, if it needs a 1on1 meeting or a group meeting with multiple stakeholders.
5 What are the supporting evidence you will need to present your case? For example, it can be your performance records, company policies, legislation or standard techniques used in performance management.
6 What can be the unfavourable outcomes that might arise due to this conversation?
7 How do you plan to handle the unfavourable outcomes? For example, collecting a 360-degree feedback to be able to view this at different angles.

1. Email the conversation builder template to one of your co-workers (a senior perhaps) to seek feedback over your groundwork. Use the following textbox to write an email.

2 Explain at least one change that you will be making to the conversation planning based on the feedback received from your co-worker in the following space.
