The wage gap
The number of women at the top remains
low compared to the number of men.
Although women make up 50.5 percent of the U.S. workforce, they hold
only 15.7 percent of corporate officer positions in the Fortune 500 and
13.6 percent of board director seats. They hold only 7.9 percent of
Fortune 500 highest titles, and represent only 5.2 percent of top earners.
Furthermore, the majority of women corporate officers are in staff
positions rather than line positions, which have profit-and-loss
responsibility and more often lead to the top. Only 9.9 percent of line
corporate officer jobs are held by women.

Equality at work
Men and women are also
similar in their desire for workplace flexibility,
demonstrating that balancing work and personal
responsibilities is not simply a womens issue. Although
women face more challenges in achieving work/life
balance, women and men equally desire a variety of
informal and formal flexible work arrangements. Clearly,workplace flexibility is no longer just about women and
child care, but is more likely a quality of life issue for all
employees.

MOTIVATION
Motivation is an integral
part of business
strategy by corporates helping employees to sustain
work pressure.
A few small and medium companies have also become aware and
put policies in place. Most companies in this sector recognize the
business domineering of having more women in theirorganizations. While the larger ones emphasize their diversity
directives, resource constraints in these recessionary times have
constrained many from formulating and putting in place gender
inclusive policies and practices.
