It’s been observed that women especially can’t accelerate in the cooperative world. The things are mesmerizing because in business schools we have a high ratio of women instead of men. Why do we see such a steep decline in their work ethic? What are the things that are stopping them?
One of the foremost reasons they are not on the high ladder is their two-way responsibility. When a woman bears a child and after giving birth. Everyone blames a woman for taking care of the baby instead of the father, when this should be mutual. This puts extra responsibility on the mind of the woman, and if, due to her workload, she wouldn’t be able to live up to the mark, she felt guilty.
This is emotional trauma. Which impacts the productivity of the lady.
Our upbringing filled up the comparison, and women do this unintentionally, which affects their work. In the interview, the interviewer usually asks if you are married, and if she says yes, her chances of being hired decline because the boss thinks that after babies, the productivity of the woman drops. It means our cooperative culture is not suited to helping the new mothers. We have tonnes and tonnes of reasons why cultural aspects of our environment impact the career of women.
Let’s move on to the solution part, where we can help our female majority excel in the cooperative world. Degree is not enough; we usually have observed that women are specified to have a degree where they must have good social skills. This extra effort will add colour to their ives.
They must adapt to or participate in the communication classes, which help them build confidence, which portrays them as confident ladies.
The idea of visibility. If a woman does the work but doesn’t have the confidence to show what she did, how will people get to know? Visibility is the power that helps you be the best. They must have the courage to speak.
The summary of this is that a lady must be good in terms of standing out loud, taking care of their mental and physical health, and their core strength is to be confident.
These social skills are usually underrated, but they must be adapted.
