Reducing and Eliminating Gender-Based Discrimination in the Workplace

Each individual is different from others, it means they have different attitudes, habits, cultures, region-based differences, age, and gender, and so on. By the way, gender often plays an important role in determining how individuals behave in an organization, and understanding of these characteristics helps people. Especially with the opposite sex, how they can work effectively and collaboratively in the organization. Reducing and eliminating gender-based discrimination in the workplace requires gender norms and relationship in organizational processes have the potential to ensure equal participation and benefits for all and brings an initiative, and create a comfortable environment for effective gender programming. The word Gender is a term that means providing men and women employees a convenient place to work in the workplace, also known as gender equality, including this work culture into organizational processes will add to the results of the organizational lines. Many organization’s and agencies implement the latest technology and new processes for managing teams and staff, but one point that is not addressed in these organizations is gender inequality, focusing on this specific aspect is essential, because productivity and efficiency depend on the ways in which an organization behave its employees. The goals of gender equality and diversity are simple; ensuring that everyone has access to the same opportunities and the same fair behavior. It is clear that we all deserve to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and coercion, but when we are researching about each organization, this fact does not exist. Points to be noted that organizations will not always know your organization’s policies and processes conflict with each other and do not allow some people to have equal opportunities. Organizations cannot strictly prohibit people of particular gender and religion, but in the case of the research, organizations may find the hidden obstacles that have caused this problem. Many Years ago, gender equality was considered as an external term, because the achievements of established organizations were attributed to the “Men’s Group Work.” The scenario is gradually changing as agencies begin to understand the fact that for-profit and success, it is important to have a diverse workforce. We believe that diverse working teams are very effective and productive than a specific gender work team. There are several reasons which currently organizations maintaining gender diversity in the workplace, some of them are as follows:

  • Usually both men and women are looking at a problem from a different aspect and based on that they look for solutions, in this way organization can utilize from a variety of creative ideas and in-depth perspectives, which can ultimately lead to a better performance.
  • With a diverse gender workforce, organization can expand its customers based and deliver better services.
