Most high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these positions to women. To what extent do you agree?

It is being argued that,

although

there are more than 50 per cent female workers in many developed nations, most of the workers in senior

management

are male.

Companies

should be required to fix a percentage of these jobs for

women

. I strongly agree with

this

statement because

women

consumers would be able to relate with them, and junior-level female employees might feel safer.

Women

might attract more female consumers.

In other words

, many

companies

have target customers who are female, and

thus

female

management

would be able to provide better solutions to increase the company’s sales and profits.

For example

,in an interview, Raj Shamani director of Pee Safe, a

women

's hygiene brand, said that the company’s sales had increased after his wife joined the directorship.

Hence

, I strongly think that

women

employees should become a part of high-level

management

Junior-level female employees would feel more safe.

This

is because they would be able to complain about sexual and other harassment to senior

management

confidently since they know that a senior female manager would hear them.

For instance

, sexual harassment cases in Reliance were reduced drastically after Nita Ambani joined as a Director.

Therefore

, I strongly believe that

companies

should make a rule to hire a fixed percentage of females in senior positions. In conclusion, even though more than 50 per cent of workers are female in many developed nations, most top-level managers are male.

Companies

should make a rule to fix a certain percentage of females in top positions. I strongly agree with

this

statement because female consumers would be attracted, and junior female staff would feel more secure.
