Forum Discussion: Since the 1960’s we have seen a steady stream of more women entering the workplace. The 2000’s brought more women to senior leadership positions. This shift in the workforce has created challenges and opportunities for all. Increased sexual harassment cases, balancing life and family, and equal wages and job opportunities are just a few of the challenges. Organizations, and federal and state governments, are finding ways to address these issues.
Based on your readings this week (see Lessons – Week 8 – Reading and Resources), what should organizations do to ensure that the disparity between compensation and job opportunities among men and women in the workplace is mitigated and ultimately eliminated? Be creative in your answer!
