Performance of a Firm in the Wake of Women Employees in Key Positions:An Overview

Abstract

It is well known that the number of women in top positions in corporate world in India is very less or even negligible except one or two cases here and there. We can find many women employees in lower levels and middle levels of the management but as we go up the corporate ladder their number decreases exponentially. Whatever ways the government trying to encourage them to boost their numbers, their number always remained very low at the board levels. This paper studies the reasons and remedies for this. It suggests few recommendations also to follow to increase their number in the top positions. This paper is based on a research conducted on the women employees in private sector companies about their aspirations and the preferences between the family and career etc. The responses are analysed and presented in the form this paper.
