Employees are considered to be an asset for every organization and that is the reason why they must not be treated appropriately. Sexual discrimination is quite common in organizations and the female employees of Astra Inc. were suffering from the same. There were numerous factors that lead to sexual discrimination in this organization. The appointment of Bildman initiated sexual discrimination in the organization and with the autocratic style of Bildman and his lust for ladies the senior managers and the executives of the organization started discrimination between the trainees. The trainees that were hired were mostly females and most of them reported that they were hired because of their looks. Males were discriminated and a confusing organizational culture was developed in the organization. The result of this action can be disastrous and both the individual and organization would definitely suffer in the short and the long run. After this issue was raised by the employees Bildman got sacked and the other related executives were terminated from this act of sexual harassment and discrimination. The image of the organization was tarnished and Bildman suffers huge fines and losses. This would clearly depict the culture of the organization and fresh trainees might not join the company and this would affect the organization because new recruits might not be willing to work with them.
Astra Inc. must incorporate certain policies and procedures in the organization that can stop this problem because sexual discrimination in the organization can cause different problems for the organization. Certain strategies must be devised by the organization and every individual must comply with the rules and regulations of the organization. All the employees including the senior management must be engaged in training and workshops related to sexual discrimination in the organization. Similarly, it must be stated in the employment letter that if an employee engages in sexual harassment or an act of sexual discrimination then he/she would be fired and heavily fined. The issue of sexual discrimination must be discussed openly in the organization and the organization must ensure proper flow of communication. The phenomenon of whistle-blowing must initiate in the organization and whistle blowers must be motivated in the organization that can raise this issue and any mishap that is related to sexual discrimination. Finally, senior executives and the top hierarchy must take this issue seriously and on the other hand employees must feel comfortable in communicating the issue of sexual discrimination with the senior management and training related to non-bias hiring processes must be initiated in the organization
