In Organizational Human Resources Leadership, I had another group project that had a great learning outcome. In my group project we looked into the gender pay gap in technology.
In order to understand how women play a part in tech and the differences in pay, we explored the reasons why women were not advancing the in the STEM fields. The biggest glaring issue was that women were never encouraged to learn STEM, therefore they were not motivated to pursue a career in STEM.
There are a few women in history who were pioneers in the world of technology, and the list of women who continue to break ground in technology keeps growing. With high performing organizations being held accountable for not having a more diverse candidate pool, the days of women being assistance are soon to become a fond memory of how far they have come.
Even though the meaning of “organizational responsibility” can be broad, the bottom line defines that the actions and polices put into place holds an organization responsible for the success of the whole body by improving social, environmental, and economic performance of all individuals.
Attached is the presentation that gives insight in the gender pay gap in tech and what the suggestions we have found that can change the workforce. Along with the presentation is a paper that I wrote with my teammates on the topic. The paper explores who the women are in the workforce, and shows the salary comparison. We looked into best practices for employment in this field, and also mention that the workforce is now evolving to include more women and minorities in positions that were traditionally held by men.
