Women hold more than half of US
Managerial positions but they hold far fewer of the top executive
positions. To overcome this imbalance some colleges are offering
executive education courses for women only to empower them to be
future leaders. Not only colleges but even organizations
like Johnson & Johnson works on such programs helping women
network & gain confidence.
To understand such programs
are ethical or would be different if they were held for men only
can be explained:-
- Here the programs like Johnson
& Johnson Women's leadership & inclusion (WLI) employee
resource offered to empower women aimed at achieving the potential
of women by overcoming gender inequality at all levels - across the
business.
- Everywhere around the globe as per
the research it says in the last 25 years women have joined the
labor force at all levels & makeup 40% of the global labor
force which is a tremendous move to make women participate in the
workforce. Here such programs are critical to giving the right to
women to gain freedom for work, be independent & stand on thier
own.
- Here women need the shaping because
there are a lot of societal norms against them as our past history
states how women are been treated for the work & all. It's not
only about gender equality but women face a lot of challenges in
the current workforce which such programs are required to give more
access to women to come forward & take initiatives at all
levels.
- The programs like women empowerment
are ethical because it's not differentiating anybody as gender or
favoring a part of gender but it's just that women need reform
to change their old mindset & by making them
coming forward by bringing reforms at all levels such as
individual, relational & societal survival.
- There are programs that run
specifically on women, on men & both of them as to empower
overall as communities. There is no such difference as per gender
as such. It's just that women have unique
qualities which are different from men as they bear the
child by becoming mother, face a lot of pain in handling both the
work & home, many of them leave the workforce due to various
issues which are against as per society norms in certain countries.
To address such issues these programs are quite essential to
educate them & support them to come forward even whatever may
be the situation.
Here such programs on
empowerment on women are really essential in many countries so that
they can face the following challenges:-
- To overcome the societal norms
& changing the mind shift about them regarding working
women.
- To overcome the challenges faced
due to the risk of working.
- To bring the change among women by
empowering them to be self-reliant & confident on thier
own.
- To support them by creating a
community that widely gives the courage to fight for thier rights
fundamentally as they do possess some unique qualities apart from
men.
- To overcome gender differences by
educating both men & women about it.
- To stand together in providing the
support for the girl child to be raised, educated & make her
serve for her family, society & country & large which in
some countries still its imbalanced.
- Overall such programs bring a
paradigm shift in creating women leaders, managers, politicians,
businesswomen, scientists & also reshaping thier careers in all
fields in giving the freedom by educating every woman to be
independent by recognizing thier inner potential &
strengths.
Therefore, such programs should not
be encouraged by one company like johnson & johnson in
empowering the women as a community but also many organizations
& individuals must strive to work for each other to overcome
the challenges the women faces in the work environment, education
& overall so as to make them stand on their own with proper
support & care which they are the future of every country
equally to men.
