Unfortunately, these stereotypes are often used during some companies hiring processes, giving an unfair advantage to men to get hired more easily. This still occurs in cases when a woman has equal or greater experience and education than their male competitors.
The image and website "Science for Work" explain how even in female-dominated or integrated positions, there is no particular preference for hiring a female over a male.
The #BanBossy campaign created to encourage girls and women to take leadership and initiative talks about how females are often labelled with negative terms when taking a leadership stance. We often tend to hear words like “bossy” or “controlling” stereotyped onto women with leading attitudes or even women who are the boss. In contrast, men would tend to be viewed as more powerful or assertive in nature for displaying the same characteristics.
In my opinion, since women have entered the workforce, business values have increased to benefit more people. Human rights, diversity and stronger ethics have been implemented into more workplaces creating a better atmosphere for Canada’s growing diverse population. While we still have a long way to go to create completely fair and equitable business environments and opportunities, women have only just started their momentum in working towards this. Many men will feel the same way as women and want equality, as they see their mothers, sisters, friends, wives and daughters all working just as hard in their positions as they are. Diversity in leadership is important for providing new ideas, innovations and technology to help businesses and workplaces thrive.
