Many employers have discovered that equal employment opportunity (EEO) provides an organization with the opportunity to use the knowledge, skills, and abilities of all people resulting in a strategic competitive advantage. Over the years, women have made more of a presence in the workforce. As a matter of fact, women have nearly matched men in terms of workforce percentages, with 53 percent of jobs filled by men and 47 percent by women. Women are also starting to take on top-level managerial roles in the workforce. There are currently many female CEOs (e.g., Marissa Mayer of Yahoo, Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo or Andrea Jung of Avon). As the workforce becomes more diverse, human resource professionals need to be aware of the fact that the selection and promotion criteria thatemployers use can discriminate against women and how women are facing different challenges in the workforce. One aspect of a thriving employment brand is the recruitment of women in the workforce.Please begin by reading:Frett, D.L. (2010). Pay equity is good for business and good for working women.
