You have set up a meeting with the CEO to discuss the issue.

Answer 1

Women have long been seen as weaker sex or complementary gender. They were not treated equally with what they have in terms of skills and contributions. Women and men get different benefit packages although, they have the same skills, qualifications, work hours and productivity. This demotivates the women employees and mars the reputation of the organisation by projecting that the company is discriminating the women work force. Besides, when women go on maternity leave, their service is discontinued and counted as fresh and this is inequal because they lose their due promotion. We need to look at certain problems as universal such as when the women go on maternity leave by not discontinuing their service. This will bring respect and trust from all the stakeholders including our women employees.
