A majority of people believe that women cannot do heavy physical works,think women are relatively weak.
And they also think women in the workplace are not seriously enough, because the employer think they are more concerned about the economic security of their husbands rather than their own works.(Donahue,1989)For example,Employees in the construction industry are more than a million people, but only ten percent of women. Therefore, this makes the male occupy the dominant position in the industrial sector. So the image of architectural is very poor, less knowledge, as well as worse career advice. Not only is the workplace, as well as other procedures of the women can not participate, such as, professional development, training and education. (Dainty,Bagilhole and
Neale,2000)
In addition to women can not do heavy manual labor, the other misunderstood is that women may not focus on their work after pregnant. Most people believe that women might put more energy on their baby, and work is not important. A survey by Broadcasting British Corporation shows that 1/3 of the 1975 women said they had difficulty climbing the top of their careers, and 48% thought their careers had stopped because they were mothers, and 51% women thoughts their colleagues and managers had changed their attitude, once they announced they were pregnant.(Sellgren,2015)Some examples include: token women employees opinions and views. Some people hide information, affect women employees performance. Exposed to an unable load, unreasonable or impossible goals or tasks of the final deadline.Be ordered to do less than your ability to work, or faced with a hostile.When women staff getting close, be humiliated and ridicule women’s work and women’s work over monitor connection.(Lee,2002)
However, social development still requires the use of female talent, otherwise, the enterprise will miss a lot of talent in their disposal.(The Guardian,2015) If women want to change this situation radically and quickly, the company should provide a higher level of role, not only offer a part-time job. More and more women now appear in various areas of politics and public life, such as corporate leadership, the leadership of public organizations, members of the local community leaders and members of the Council and volunteer activities.(The Guardian,2015)
Women in work are vulnerable to discrimination in UK, people always think that some works are not suitable for women, or they only concerned about their families,even sometimes views and opinions might be ignored.Although the government has passed laws to protect women's rights, it may take a long time to eliminate the misunderstanding of women.
