Time for Solutions! Overcoming Gender-related Career Barriers shares the who, what and how to reduce gender inequalities in the workplace. Clearly the time is now since inequities are hampering the economy and simply wrong. Who needs to change? And, how? These can be more difficult questions to answer. This book identifies a wide range of issues that need attention and provides direction pertaining to who needs to do what. Gender diversity studies have concentrated on the plight of women which unfortunately still needs consideration. We go beyond the problems of women to see what some in the LGBTQ community are facing and what needs to happen to reduce their barriers. Interestingly, there are a few universal solutions that are not complicated to implement. All it takes is paying attention to individual needs and implementing sociological solutions that create long-term inclusion. Of course, the devil is in the details. Authors of this book provide those details.

Industry Reviews

"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!"

Sue Vinnicombe, Professor of Women and Leadership, Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield University, UK

"Susan Adams, in developing this collection has done women and organizations a great service. Advancing qualified women in organizations increases performance. Chapter authors identify key barriers women face, review models of potential change, and offer concrete initiatives for bringing advancement. Though difficult we know how to do this. The time is now. Her title is apt."
