What I felt in my company is that the workplace for woman is changing rapidly and becoming more friendly. I thought this video wouldnt be myth. Maybe I feel so just because now people in company are very welcoming to me. But I do think these women in the video are increasing more and more.
The fact is that more and more women are in senior positions, especially in the City. There are several reasons for this. First of all, banks realise they need a better balance and that they need to tap into the large talent pool that the female population represents.
Secondly, discrimination lawsuits have drawn significant attention and banks are becoming more and more careful to create more female-friendly workplaces.
Overall, men colleages are showing more respect to woman and women now start to play important roles in banking. I might think that it is perfectly possible for a woman to become Managing Director and lead a very happy family life.
Many of the myths mentioned in this video are true. Not many minorities also.
