Abstract

Despite the remarkable increase in the existence of women in the workforce, the entry of women into higher managerial positions remains restricted. Various studies have confirmed this fact. This phenomenon of hampering womens upward advancement to senior management positions has been referred to as the glass ceiling effect. Most of the countries accepted women and men are equal. Even though women could not come out of Glass ceiling effect.  The women are stressed out with the corporate culture and family responsibilities. They are not able to balance both the family and work life. The main objective of this study is to evaluate, suggest and recommend problem solving for tackling the problem of glass ceiling. The primary data was collected in the form of questionnaire from the women employee. The questionnaire was formulated with six factors that are thought to be the main factors that are reason for glass ceiling.  The sampling was collected based on simple random sampling and the tool used is persons R and Spearman Correlation. The major finding is that the most of the factors are negatively correlated with the demographic factors. We suggest them to be more opinionated and be fearless. We would like to conclude that in country like India it is necessary to educate people that women can do anything and are equal to men. Men should start looking them as equal to them.
