Women’s Struggles in the Workplace
from RiseUp - Live Joy Your Way Hosted by Kamini Wood
Women have a slightly different experience in the workplace. As women make up around 40% of the labor workforce all over the world, these subjects cannot be ignored. Women still have to face gender bias, work-life balance demands, and more. Kamini understands that men can face similar challenges when it comes to work and life demands, but will be focusing today’s topic on women. Many working moms find themselves sacrificing their family time for their job and career. If a woman wants to push forward in her career, she needs to make a choice. As a mother wanting the best for her family, this can be a hard pill to swallow. Working mothers experience a lot of mom guilt, and it takes a toll on their mental wellbeing. Another big issue women are facing is sexual herassment. Anywhere from a quarter to 8 out of 10 women experience workplace harassment in their lifetime. In most cases, this harassment comes from a man in a position of authority. What can women do to better strive under these often unfair working requirements? The first thing Kamini recommends is to seek women outside of your place of employment that inspire you. Women need role models to understand what is possible for them. She also encourages you to ask for help if you need it. This doesn’t have to be a lonely and solo endeavor. When you feel supported, you are empowered to do the scary things and not fall victim to bad workplace practies. Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
