How Can Women In The Workplace Get Rid Of Their Predicament?

Ten years ago, Megan Dallas Carmina worked 16 to 18 hours a day, almost as an airplane.

Dallas Carmina once held the position of director of marketing of IBM company, holding the budget of $50 million.

But she resigned from the executive position because she wanted to find a way of life that would not make her feel drowned.

Forget the ideal of having everything.

Although her company allows her to arrange her own time freely, the single mother feels that she is barely living.

Darla Carmina felt that he was not alone.

A new study of her proves this feeling.

The Australian survey of 1000 American workplace women aged 18 to 55 has been disheartening.

About 70% of the women surveyed do not believe that they can get the necessary support to make themselves happy inside and outside the workplace, and 75% of the respondents do not believe they can "have everything".

In fact, nearly half of the respondents described their life in the past few years as "hanging by a thread".

In addition, the findings were not affected by age or whether women had children, suggesting that everyone struggled for life.

Dalla Carmina said, "we are talking about a step forward, and our compatriots say that they are just barely living."

Too many women believe that if they work hard, someone will notice them, and the chance will come.

But in many cases, this is not the case.

Darla Carmina's research points out that there is a big gap between the resources provided by employers and the actual resources provided by employers.

Boston University (Boston College) latest research finds that workplace flexibility is decreasing, with less than 1/3 of employers thinking that allowing employees to adopt flexible working patterns is a good choice.

Even if the company provides flexible work arrangements for employees, 70% of women still believe that it is very difficult to achieve success in the two aspects of the workplace and family.

Why? Darla Camilla believes that too many companies still insist on face-to-face work rather than results oriented.

She added that flexible working methods such as part-time job or home office will become a part of American corporate culture like DNA, rather than a kind of corporate culture.

Otherwise, the situation will not change.

For Darla Carmina's findings, CEO Judi Miller, Business Talent Group, is not surprised.

Miller has a direct understanding of the benefits of different office methods.

Half of the employees in the business talent group work at home. They are not accused or punished for being absent from face-to-face communication with the boss. In fact, the employees of this company are rewarded on the basis of the quality of their work, rather than the time they invested in the task.

Moreover, most of the employees in this company are part time jobs and work for the company on the basis of projects.

Miller said that since the company has improved its unique working environment, the efficiency and retention rate of employees has been increasing rapidly.

Miller said, "to tell the employee" step forward "is just a general Tinker.

We need to make fundamental structural changes in the workplace, making it easier for all employees to master.

Miller acknowledged that American companies need to take radical action by business talent groups.

It will take some time.

Before that, how could women experience more "control" in their work? Darla Carmina gave the following suggestions in her book Getting Real About Having It All:

Set up an excellent personal brand: everyone has his own brand, though most people usually only focus on their own business brand.

Seriously considering how others perceive themselves will force the professionals to return to their true selves.

She advises everyone to ask themselves, "what kind of image do you want to go to work, and where do you want to know yourself?"

Be clear about where you can't negotiate.

Darla Carmina described himself as a "rehabilitate".

"

In her research, she found that women in the workplace often refuse to refuse tasks that do not accord with their best interests.

After narrowing her career goals, she suggests that readers should write down their uncompromising aspects and stick to it.

Whether it's a weekend phone call or a Friday break, Darla Camilla reminds readers that we can only define the bottom line in our work.
