The Problem. Women at the Top

Description

Do male managers discriminate against women when filling open executive positions-or do women lack the ambition to strive for a spot at the top? In this program successful businesswoman Hilary Devey investigates the range of factors that are thought to be holding women back. Devey looks at unconscious bias in recruitment and promotions, finds out why women tend to be bad at requesting pay raises, and asks stay-at-home mothers whether they are content to step off the career ladder for good. Having submitted her freight distribution business to a gender audit, Devey learns that she herself needs to make changes.
