Discussion: The Glass Ceiling
Effect
To counteract some of the glass
ceiling effects, women need to maintain career development strategies to ensure
their ability to succeed in male dominated fields. The Association of
Professional Engineers, Scientists, and Managers, Australia (2008) suggests
that women must:
– Be conscious of career
development at all stages of [their] working [lives].
– Become aware of departments from
which senior management is promoted.
– Maintain a broad skills base.
– Maintain visibility and
positioning within the organization in terms of succession planning.
Can you provide another reference
on how career counseling can benefit women when they battle the glass ceiling
effects?
