Gender equality in the workplace is a hot topic for multiple groups: businesses, governments, researchers and, most of all, workers. This book goes beyond describing the problems and highlighting bad practice. It focuses on understanding the sociological and psychological changes needed to achieve gender equality in the workplace. "Susan Adams has produced a fascinating book on gender inequality in the workplace, by pulling together colleagues from different disciplines and covering the topic from various perspectives from the individual to global. There are novel insights into the healthcare sector, gay men in Indian cinema, one woman's reflections on her managerial career in IBM and how women can disadvantage women. Throughout the book the focus is on solutions and the final chapter brings them together in a compelling way. A great read for both academics and practitioners!"
