ETHICS IN HUMAN RESOURCE
Male Dominated Workplace:
There is much concern about why women's are not making it to the top of organisations & professions. Equal numbers of men and women are recruited & a reasonable percentage are there at mid to senior levels, but there are few at the top.
When asked why this happens, I say with some confidence that it's about workplace culture. Two years ago a survey was conducted in a College of Cambridge. When asked what had been. The biggest challenge for their career, 22 % of those womens said it was combining work & family; 38 % cited an unsupportive workplace culture.
This is not all about gender bias, but a lot was summed up by a womans in her mid-30s : “I am surprised by how male-dominated the workplace is, designed by man, for man, with a male culture and set of values.
If you ask women, they can describe the behaviour they find disturbing. Some will say that their voice is not heard, they are interrupted or ignored in meetings.
A questions are raised in selection processes about whether a woman “is tough enough”?
There are the some ways by which we can share the workplace culture:
- We should get 50 % women at every level of the organisation & that will solve it.
- Reservation should be provided to women, so that they can share the workplace easily.
- Some relief should be provided to women during selection.
- Families does not allow women to work in night shift so organisation need treasure the safety of women during night.
In my experience, many womens think it must be something wrong with them, & are mightily relieved that so many others have experienced the same thing.
I certainly hope that it will happen in the long term but it leaves, the problem of every women’s current experience of the workplace, which often stops them wanting to aim for more senior management and leadership roles. Every person need real changes in behaviour.It would be good if men and women could be more aware, for example, about what happens in meetings, making sure they speak up when womens are ignored or patronised. There should be more womens in the chair, whatever level of the meeting It And it is also important that socialising and networking take place in the working day and not in the pub.
None of this changing is impossible, though the history of male power in the workplace means that it is not necessarily quick or easy.
