Introduction
Inequality and marginalization are common misbehaviors in different institutions. These malpractices have the potential to undermine the performance of different employees. Gerry Watson presents critical issues that have been affecting many women at Reginald Murphy College (RMS). The vice president (VP) of administration and finance should use a powerful plan to address the issues affecting the institution.
Proposed Plan to Address the Issue
Organizing a Meeting
The first step is organizing a crisis meeting with my associate vice presidents. These VPs form part of my leadership team. The individuals will present their suggestions and observations regarding the issues presented by Gerry Waston. This approach will make it easier for me to design a powerful intervention plan.
Assessing the Accuracy of the Presented Perceptions
The second step is assessing the validity of the presented issues. The above-mentioned crisis meeting will ensure every VP presents his or her views. Different stakeholders and employees will be part of the meeting. My goal will be to analyze the inequities and insensitivities encountered in the institution. The proposed analysis will examine the challenges encountered by different female employees. This practice will be relevant towards addressing the gender issues affecting the institution. This strategy will make it easier for the learning institution to deal with the issue of gender inequity. A powerful intervention strategy will eventually empower more women.
Implementing Appropriate Solutions
Proposed Short-Term Strategy
The identified issues will determine the best short-term strategy. To begin with, I will use a powerful plan to address the issues affecting different female employees. I will ensure every employee in the targeted departments promotes the most appropriate gender practices. Every female employee will be encouraged to present her suggestions. I will ensure every meeting is scheduled properly. The approach will encourage more women to attend such meetings. The managers at Reginald Murphy College (RMS) will collect different opinions from every employee. I will encourage my associate vice presidents to empower more women in their respective departments. A proper scheduling option will encourage more women to support the targeted goals. This short-term strategy will deal with gender inequality and eventually support the organization’s core values.
Proposed Long-Term Strategy
The issue of gender inequity affects the performance of many institutions. Managers and leaders should use powerful long-term strategies to get the best results. I will implement a proper training program. This program will equip every employee with the best competencies and skills. For instance, the program will encourage more employees to deal with the glass ceiling. The institution will use different monitoring practices to control the behaviors of its managers. I am planning to implement a powerful Women Empowerment Campaign (WEC). This campaign will encourage more female workers to be part of every meeting. Such women will also be ready to present their grievances and complaints. I will also use a proper compensation plan. The institution’s employees will be promoted and compensated depending on their competencies. This strategy will reduce the level of gender inequality.
Creating a New Culture
The culture of teamwork will always be embraced at Reginald Murphy College (RMS). Teamwork is a powerful practice that can reduce the malpractices affecting the learning institution. The organization will continue to promote powerful practices that can deal with gender inequality. These approaches will eventually produce positive results for the organization.
