Females make up forty two percent of the workforce yet, as can be demonstrated by the following HR report, the glass ceiling is alive and well at Company X.
Level FM Total
As the court can clearly see, there are no upper management female employees and there are only 2 at level 4. In other words, ninety eight percent of the decision making positions of Company X are held by men and all one hundred percent of executive level positions are male dominated. How can this be logical considering that females make up over forty percent of all employees at company X?
These discrepancies also hold true in Company X's pay scales. The average salary for a man in the company is approximately $112,000 verses female employees who average salaries of approximately $79,000. This scale has obviously been skewed because of the executive level positional differences. But, it is not surprising that these inconsistencies carry over from each department throughout the company. Throughout the prized positions in the company, males hold all of the better jobs and are therefore receiving the benefits associated such as higher pay.

Ethics and Human Resource Management As society progressed out of the 19th century - an era when two-thirds of all women were illiterate -- women embarked on a mass migration that would see them out of their kitchens and into the workplace (Thompson, 2008). More than a hundred years later (and having survived a few extreme feminist movements between then and now), we enter the post-feminist era; an era where

But domestic violence has not been eliminated. Nor have other discriminatory traditions, such as polygamy. "Although the practice of polygamy is declining, it continues to be a threat to women, as it undermines a woman's dignity, perpetuates notions of male dominance, and above all creates domestic environments where women become vulnerable to abuse because they are in the difficult position of agreeing to their husbands' marriage or asking for
