The presentation discusses the concept of the 'glass ceiling', an invisible barrier preventing women and minorities from advancing in the workplace due to gender or race. Key obstacles include sexual harassment, 'boys' clubs', job segregation, and inadequate anti-discrimination enforcement, which collectively hinder women's professional development and salary parity. The document highlights the urgent need to address these societal issues to promote women's leadership in corporate environments.

1. PRESENTATION ON GLASS CEILING-
INVISIBLE BARRIER STOPPING THE
FEMALE REACH THE HIGHER POSITION
FROM- MIHIKA VASAVA
MBA (HR)

2. MEANING OF CLASS CEILING:
 The term “glass ceiling” is used to
define a limit – that is placed on either
women or minorities,
 Who are unable to advance in the
workplace due to their gender and/or
race.

3.  It is an opposition to the popular
motivational phrase
“ SKY IS THE LIMIT”
 Thus, it is the situation that women and
minorities often face
 In which they find it difficult or even
impossible to climb the corporate ladder
 And secure advanced professional
position, simply because of their gender
or race.

4. OBSTACLES IN THE
WORKPLACE
 So what is it exactly that holds
women back from achieving a
more advanced position in the
workplace??

5.  Several obstacles in the workplace
exist that can- and often do- obstruct a
woman’s professional development
Sexual harassment
Boys’ clubs
Job segregation
Lack of Anti-Discrimination
Enforcement

6. Sexual harassment :
 The first obstacle in the workplace is
“ SEXUAL HARASSMENT”
 Which is still prevalent- especially for
women in managerial positions
 It is rare that an offender will be fired
for misconduct.

8. Boy’s clubs:
 Another obstacle in the workplace, which
become more common as one get closer
to top, is the continued existence of
“ BOY’S CLUBS”
 Men often promote other men to higher
positions because they want to work with
men- who they can relate to better than
women.

9.  These hiring choices result in the age-
old office “club” that women are
discouraged from joining.
 Women are offered fewer business
travel opportunities,
 Wherein they would be able to co-
mingle with other top executives
because they are not viewed as
policymakers……..

10.  So the end result is that the women
are “left at home”, while the men “
take care of business” abroad.

11. Job segregation:
 Job segregation is another issue that
is still incredibly common,
 And this makes it almost impossible
for a woman to land a position of
power.

12. Lack of Anti-Discrimination
Enforcement:
 Several decisions issued by the
supreme court have made it nearly
impossible for women to able to prove
they are being discriminated against
and their abusers should be punished
accordingly.
 On a smaller scale, women’s
complaints of discrimination or
harassment are often not taken
seriously when reported to their male
superiors.

14. Glass ceiling still keeps top
jobs for the boys:
women earn 75% of men’s
salary
 According to one survey of 2017,
Salary of leading corporate
executives, procurement leaders has
uncovered evidence that women are
still struggling to fill leadership roles.

15.  There is a clear and compelling
evidence, throughout the years of
study, that women face lower salaries
compared to men.
 Promoting more women to senior
leadership roles is a societal problem.
 The glass ceiling is warping the
market and leading to inefficient
resource allocation.

16.  Until we resolve to fix this at a social
level, this issue will not recede.
