Employers Can Help Lessen The Problem

Some women would prefer to stay in their home to be a homemaker, but some also want to work. Employers can contribute to achieving both homemaker and employee status by allowing women to work from home. To keep things equal, this status could also be allowed for men. More job sites and work places could allow for child care for women who want to work outside of the home. Employers should also try not to hold any bias against women. Employers should not jump to the conclusion that a women will easily give up her job once she is married or begins to start a family. Another problem that could prompt a women to be more likely to leave her place of employment is sexual harrassment. If a women reports a problem of sexual harrassment, it should be taken seriously and given attention to. "Employers need to pay more attention to the Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines" (Heathfield). These guidelines exist for a reason! Not only women realize a need for the equality, men, minorities, and even the elderly realize the necessity for equal rights in the workplace!!
