How To Empower Women Professionals Company

By Cynthia Hamilton


If the world was fair, it would not be the one that humanity made. Humankind has never been fair, and while there individuals within the species who have tried to change that, their efforts have gone largely without consequence. But just because there has been failure to make change in the past does not mean that change should be given up on. No, it means that exact opposite. Fairness and equality must be fought for even harder. As such, corporations need to empower women professionals company.

Empowering women has many benefits. For one thing, female employees are just like any other employees. When they feel like valuable assets to a company, they are happier and thus more productive. Productive employees are always good for the bottom line.

Being a woman in the workplace can be a difficult thing. Just getting a job can harder, since many hiring officers have an implicit bias towards male workers. Not only that, but once a person who identifies as female actually does get the job, they can be paid less than their male coworkers, despite doing the exact same work. Then there is the rampant sexual harassment that seems to permeate almost every level of corporate society.

Men are taught to solve their problems one way, by going right through them as society dictates that a guy must be direct and aggressive. Women on the other hand are raised differently, they are taught to be polite and less direct. Thus, when it comes to problem solving, a woman will have a different point of view than a man and will see a workaround whereas a man might see an obstacle to be mowed down.

In the new world, offices are diverse. No one workplace is filed with a homogenous mixture of people. Offices are staffed with individuals who come from all walks of life. A lack of this can make a company look bad, and negative press can be the death knell for a business in the world of social media.

On average, men have about thirty three to forty percent more upper body strength than women. As such, society dictates that they are the aggressors. Now, this leads to men being seen as inherently aggressive, which makes people more wary of them. Women on the other hand are raised to be more gentle and nurturing, to prepare them for motherhood. This leads them be seen as more trustworthy.

Ever since the 1950s, girls have been much more likely to graduate from high school than boys. That trend has continued, as girls have continually out earned boys when it comes to education. Over half of all college degrees in the United States now go towards women, and this trend also goes up to the secondary level, where masters degrees and doctorate degrees are affected by this shift as well.

Correlation does not equal causation. Just because phenomenon A happened just before phenomenon B does not necessarily mean that phenomenon A cause phenomenon B. That said, it has been noted that companies with female leadership do better than companies that without it.

The world should be fair. But its not. Regardless, people should still try to make it so.
