Workplace Equity and Equality in the Hotel Industry

Abstract

Gender disparity can be traced and reflected truly by their presence in different sectors. The backlash that women have to face is not hidden from anyone, today women have achieved new heights in Indian industries. Women have taken the lead and created new standards for men to achieve. When we talk about the hotel industry, the ratio of women has increased in India in a large number when compared to other countries. But when we examine how women engage in a particular country while taking into account its population the ratio still seems to be less. The participation of the employment of women in any sector is mainly due to the legislative and constitutional laws that reserve certain seats. Various studies show that the main barrier to equality is the deep-rooted stereotypes and orthodox mentality. We have come a long way yet need to achieve more to bring equality and equity to the workspace. Under this glorious umbrella of progress lies the ugly truth of inequality in our country, India. The chapter aims to highlight the inequality that women have faced down the ages in the industry and are still fighting against them. Therefore, this is my take to analyze the reasons for inequality in the field of management. It is due to the policy or the work culture of the hotel industry.In every aspect of life, women can be found as leaders. They range from the top executive of a major corporation to the homemaker who manages her household and children. Our nation was constructed with the guidance of powerful women, and we will persist in demolishing barriers and challenging the norm.
