We´re all the same (women in engineering)

Women in the technical workplace often find that they are treated differently from their male peers. Whereas gender is not an issue in the competency of employees in today´s technical facilities, the so-called genderless workplace still does not exist. The genderless workplace is one in which employees are hired on the basis of qualifications and those features that make each person an individual but are not pluses or minuses on the job are ignored. Several areas, ranging from the day-to-day work environment to the responsibilities of employees who are parents, are considered with regard to achieving the goal of the genderless workplace. The efforts that can be made in a company to fully integrate the technical women on the staff into the team, from changes in the day-to-day decorum of the work environment to the equality of working parents, are discussed.<>
