In the UK, Royal Mail and the Royal Logistics Corps of the British Army are some examples of big logistics organisations that have worked very hard on gender diversity. Where they have been successful, it's because they've had women and men working as a team together to tackle these issues. Of course, the outcome benefits both women and men because it helps to overcome talent issues and skill shortages, which are a problem for everybody. So men's contribution is an essential part of the solution. And although men are half of the talent pool, if you break that down a bit more, it's notable that white, middle-class, able-bodied, heterosexual men with no caring duties at home are an even smaller - in fact, quite a tiny -proportion of the potential workforce. So, for men who don't meet the stereotype, anything which challenges that stereotype and encourages diversity is going to be a good thing for them personally as well.
