Gender Equality In The Workplace

Introduction The rapid change in the global economic market needs to change not only the external environment of the organization but also its internal operations and processes (Hall, 2008; Hodgetts, 2002). An important change in changing the essence of modern organizations is "to recognize, develop and systematically use employee skills and knowledge" (Ramirez et al. 2007, p. 496). The central role of employee engagement in organizational success is not just "high-performance work system". With the decentralization of decisions and busy work, we provide opportunities for employees to participate.

Although the law guarantees gender equality in the workplace, there is considerable inequality among men and women in terms of wages, occupational achievement and equality in the workplace. Most of the population still believes that specific jobs and occupations are related to gender. Several critics condemn the gender bias that is being established and strengthened in the country's major governments, education and religious institutions. Feminism is a growing movement in rural areas and urban areas, but it still faces many obstacles for traditionalists.

From technology companies to Hollywood, gender inequality in the workplace has attracted attention in the past year. Karen Keog, director of JP Morgan Chase's global philanthropy, says: Women are still inadequate at the level of all levels of the company, but the gap between senior management is the largest. Julie Goran, a partner of McKinsey & Company, introduced women at work. This is a comprehensive study on the status of women in American companies. "This is a business role that is likely to play a role as a senior management or CEO," she points out, but women represent far more representative positions than men. This may hinder the way to women's senior leaders.

A new report titled "Powers of Equality: Promotion of Women's Equality in Canada" announced by the McKinsey Global Institute on June 20 resumed discussion on gender equality in the workplace. According to the report, measures to deal with gender disparities in the workplace could take $ 150 billion for "shooting" in the Canadian economy. The McKinsey Global Institute revealed that gender inequality in the Canadian workplace not only returns to women but also extends throughout the economy. However, this is not only a Canadian problem but also a global problem. Christine LaGuarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), also talked about this. She said that if women participate in the labor force like men, the national income of the United States may increase by 5%, Japan by 9%, and India by 27%.
