Disparities in Leadership Roles for Women in the Modern Workspace with special reference to Healthcare and Corporate: A case analysis

Abstract Many professions impose obstacles for women, leading to the disproportionate presence of men in top positions. Research indicates that women occupy less than one-third of leadership roles worldwide, with figures of just 37 per cent in the US and 3 per cent in Canada. Despite women constituting a majority in certain industries and achieving parity with men in entry-level positions, their representation in leadership roles still needs to improve. Traditional notions regarding women, including gender biases, hinder their potential and impede their ability to seize opportunities for leadership advancement. This could adversely affect women's self-esteem and ability to perform effectively under pressure. This study investigates gender disparities in leadership roles and notes that women who attain positions of authority in their organisations face limitations in realising their full potential. Further, it delves into the historical context, societal norms, entrenched institutional structures, and ingrained cultural biases contributing to this imbalance. The study extends to explore the reasons impacting women's employment prospects, including challenges in achieving work-life balance, absence of coaching opportunities, and unequal access to professional development programs. Finally, the research examines the effectiveness of policies and initiatives — such as mentorship programs, inclusive and multicultural promotion practices, and legislative reforms aimed at fostering a more equitable and inspiring work — implemented by legislators and organisations to address this gender gap. This case study research employs exploratory and descriptive methodologies to illuminate the barriers hindering women's ascent to leadership roles.
