Abstract
This paper highlights issues related
to gender diversity like the
glass ceiling faced by women in
organizations. Gender diversity
is vital to ensure success in
todays knowledge economy.
Contended is that firms that want
fresh ideas, strong growth, positive
company image, fewer discrimination
lawsuits, and enhanced
ability to hire qualified
workers should be aggressive
about gender diversity. When
females are not represented they
cannot have a say in policy making
and decision making. Also
they would not get a chance to
sit in recruitment boards or mentor
other junior females which
would multiply the vicious circle,
argue the authors.
