GENDER INEQUALITY 1
Executive Summary
Gender inequality is a critical issue which is faced by a large number of female
employees worldwide. The female workers face various issues while working in corporations
such as sexual harassment, racism, and unequal pay. Women are also facing issues of gender
pay gap which means them receive less salary for similar work as compared to male
employees. In Australia, the gender pay gap is 15.3 percent which is considerably high, and it
proves that government and organisations have failed to address the issue of gender
inequality. The HR department also faces issue such as high retention rate, turnover rate, lack
of motivated employees, and ineffective employee relationships. The HR department of
companies has failed to address the issue of female workers. HR executive did not prefer to
hire female workers, and they did not promote them to the top-level managerial position. The
female employee also receives lower compensation for similar work than compared to male
workers. The awareness about this issue is continuously growing especially in developed
nations. The HR executives can implement various policies to address gender inequality and
pay gap issues such as determining female employees’ issues and implementing appropriate
policies. HR department should incorporate gender equality and equal pay policies into
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) model to implement it across the corporation. HR
executive should establish flexible policies for female employees to increase their role in the
corporation. These policies can assist HR executives in hiring female employees for top-level
executive positions and providing them equal remuneration for their work.
