The workplace has evolved into a dual sex environment in most nations. This is welcome because it increases the pool of human capital available to draw upon.

 

In some countries women have always had strong social and commercial positions. In others a glass ceiling existed and in some cases may still exist. The man's world is still very prevalent at the top in many places.

 

In the United States this glass ceiling has been overcome in most fields. With a Fortune 500 company like Hewlett-Packard having a woman CEO, it is progressing quickly to an integrated two gender work environment at all levels.

 

Because if you take objective traits like talent, organization, innovation you will find that gender is not a relevant limiting factor. Indeed a top executive's wife may contribute more to a firm than many employees by supporting her husband.

 

Thus integration of business evaluation over gender is conducive to rising productivity. It also alleviates feelings of discrimination and disenchantment.
