Gender & Leadership: Do Human Resource Policies and Practices Affect a Womanâs Ascent in Organizations?
As more women began assuming leadership roles in organization, researchers established a number of consistencies in the promotion of women into the upper ranks of an organization. Jonsen, Maznevski, and Schneider have taken a look at these differences in their study, âGender Differences in Leadership: Believing is Seeing.â In this study they examine three ways in which organizations view women and the Human Resource policies and programs that support these views. Based on this and other research, I conducted a study in hopes of assessing the validity and existence of these views as they are evident in Southern New England organizations. Through interviews with ten prominent women in eight organizations, I have found that these views are evident in many organizations. Some organizations, however, have Human Resource Programs that do not fit into these categories and should therefore be classified into separate paradigms. Additionally, a clear disconnect has been assessed between the programs an organization has in place and those programs that women believe they would benefit the most from. This leads me to believe that there is a lack of communication between employees and human resource departments

Gender and the labour market in South East England. Volume 2: employersâ policies and practices
This research on gender and the labour market in South East England was funded by the South East of England Development Agency/European Social Fund. In volume 1 we set out the context: theoretical explanations for gender equality, the legal framework and organisational factors. Moreover, using a range of published data, we answered the first of our research questions: how does the labour market position of women in the government region of the South East of England compare with that of both men in the South East and that of women in Great Britain/United Kingdom?
In this volume we turn our attention to our other research questions:
⢠What policies and practices do employers in South East England adopt in respect of gender equality?
⢠What barriers do employers and women employees in South East England identify in respect of gender and employment

A STUDY OF GENDER IN SENIOR CIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS IN IRELAND. ESRI RESEARCH SERIES NUMBER 66 DECEMBER 2017
Women make up the majority of those employed in the civil service but are underrepresented
at the most senior grades, where key policy and operational decisions
are taken. Action 8 of the Civil Service Renewal Plan commits to improving gender
balance at each level, including senior grades. The present study was
commissioned by a high-level steering group set up to oversee implementation of
this action. It draws on a combination of administrative data, reanalysis of the Civil
Service Employee Engagement Survey conducted in 2015, and in-depth work
history interviews with 50 senior civil servants across four departments. In
addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with staff involved in recruitment
and promotion within the public service. This rich combination of data yields new
insights into the processes shaping gender differences in representation at the
most senior grades of the civil service and thus provides a strong evidence base to
inform future policy and practice
