Discussion: The Glass Ceiling Effect
To counteract some of the glass ceiling effects, women need to maintain career development strategies to ensure their ability to succeed in male dominated fields. The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists, and Managers, Australia (2008) suggests that women must:
- Be conscious of career development at all stages of [their] working [lives].
- Become aware of departments from which senior management is promoted.
- Maintain a broad skills base.
- Maintain visibility and positioning within the organization in terms of succession planning.
Can you provide another reference on how career counseling can benefit women when they battle the glass ceiling effects?
