training mandatory and revising many of its intern

For too many women, life inside Nike had turned Adidas Superstar Donne toxic.There were the staff outings that started at restaurants and ended at strip clubs. A supervisor who bragged about the condoms he carried in his backpack. A boss who tried to forcibly kiss a female subordinate, and another who referenced a staff member’s breasts in an email Nike Air Presto Womens to her.Then there were blunted career paths. Women were made to feel marginalized in meetings and were passed over for promotions. They were largely excluded from crucial divisions like basketball. When they complained to human resources, they said, they saw little or no evidence that bad behavior was being penalized.Finally, fed up, a group of women inside Nike’s Beaverton, Ore., headquarters started a small revolt.Covertly, they surveyed their female peers, inquiring whether they had been the victim of sexual harassment and gender discrimination. Their Nike Air Vapormax Womens findings set off an upheaval in the executive ranks of the world’s largest sports footwear and apparel company.On March 5, the packet of completed questionnaires landed on the desk of Mark Parker, Nike’s chief executive. Over the next several weeks, at least six top male Nike Air Max 2017 Femme executives left or said they were planning Nike Air Max 1 Mujer to leave the company, including Trevor Edwards, president of the Nike brand,

who was widely viewed as a leading candidate to succeed Mr. Parker, and Jayme Martin, Mr. Edwards’s lieutenant, who oversaw much of Nike’s global business.Others who have departed Nike Air Max 2017 Mujer include the head of diversity and inclusion, a vice president in footwear and a senior director for Nike’s basketball division.It is a humbling setback for a company that is famous worldwide and has built its brand around the inspirational slogan “Just Do It.” While Nike Air Max Zero Femme the #MeToo movement has led to the downfall of individual men, the kind of sweeping overhaul that is occurring at Nike is rare in the corporate world, and illustrates how internal pressure from employees is forcing even huge companies to quickly address workplace problems. As women — and men — continue to come forward with complaints, Nike has begun a comprehensive review of its human resources operations, making management training mandatory and revising many of its internal reporting procedures.While the departure of top executives has been covered in news accounts, new reporting by The New York Times, including interviews with more than 50 current and former employees, provides the most thorough account yet of how disaffection among women festered and left them feeling ignored, harassed and stymied in their careers.

“I came Nike Air Max 90 Mujer to the realization that I, as a female, would not grow in that company,” said Francesca Krane, who worked for five years in Nike’s retail brand design area before leaving in 2016. She said she grew tired of watching men get promoted into jobs ahead of women she felt were Nike Air Max 90 Mens equally or better qualified.Many of those interviewed, across multiple divisions, also described a workplace environment that was demeaning to women. Three people, for instance, said they recalled times when male superiors referred to people using a vulgar term for women’s genitals. Another employee said Adidas Stan Smith Donne that her boss threw his car keys at her and called her a “stupid bitch.” She reported the incident to human resources. (She told her sister about it at the time, the sister confirmed.) He continued to be her supervisor.Most of the people who spoke to The Times insisted on anonymity, citing nondisclosure agreements or a fear of being ostracized in the industry, or in the Portland community, where Nike wields outsize influence. Some have spouses or family members still working there.
