The premise of these rules is that they apply regardless of gender, in order to avoid incentivizing an all-male office specifically to avoid regulations. Now, if you do decide your company doesn't need to be a pure sausage fest, you won't be on the hook to build out a new room specifically to accommodate someone of the opposite gender.
And, in the meantime, you've got a space to take a private phone call or pop an advil and close your eyes for a minute, if you feel the need.
Ding ding ding. It’s not about the current state of your workforce. It’s about what your workforce could be in the future, and ensuring that future candidates aren’t discriminated against just because of decisions made by employees who don’t even work there anymore.
