Ill-defined protocols perpetuate bias

A poorly defined evaluation process opens the door for gender biases to shape performance evaluations. It could have managers use a criteria with no clarity on how to measure them so they then draw from cultural ideas about the different kinds of people. 

Although supervisores notice women's behaviors in the workplace when conforming to gender conventions, it does not result in rewards, often it's noted in their review that they need to improve their technical skills -- making them suffer professionally.
