Consider this:
Despite rapidly increasing rates of female education and participation in the workforce worldwide, most women continue to suffer from occupational segregation in the workplace and rarely break through the so-called "glass ceiling" separating them from top-level management and professional positions, according to the ILO (International  Labour Organization) report entitled Breaking through the Glass Ceiling: Women in Management. 

Una Du Noyer, Head of Architecture and Infrastructure at Capgemini Technology Services UK stated that "in the 80s the only real way for women to get ahead was to adopt "masculine" characteristics and dress codes! But today, traditionally "feminine" qualities like empathy, emotional intelligence, patience are highly valued in the workplace. 

The ILO report continues: While more and more women work, their jobs are often assigned a lower value in terms of skill requirements and remuneration. Women's education, training and work experience are, however, increasingly equipping them with the necessary qualifications and skills to aspire to and be selected for top positions.

The report says that networking, career tracking, mentoring and succession planning that pays particular attention to the situation of women are the best ways through the glass ceiling. But also objective and unbiased recruitment and promotion procedures are vital in attracting and retaining skilled professional women. Women are increasingly a key resource in the race to create new products and services and they are entrepreneurs as well. Competitive companies cannot afford to lose out on women's talent.
