Broken Glass
“Despite significant gains in the past 10 years, women executives around the world still face an uphill battle in workplace equality, a new study by Accenture shows.”
This statistic may not come as a huge surprise; however, we might ask ourselves why it is taking so long to flip the tables on this controversial issue. Interesting evidence comes in the form of a study on workplace satisfaction.
“…overall the women executives were about as personally satisfied with their own career opportunities and positions as men were with theirs. For instance, the same percentage of men and women respondents (58 percent) said they are fairly compensated or that their salary reflects their personal achievements. In addition, about the same number of women as men (66 percent vs. 70 percent, respectively) said they feel secure in their jobs.”
Is this difference in equality a social injustice or is it an individual barrier? Read more from Accenture.com.
