Human capital is the most value-changing asset in every organization. And though it is often the asset least attended to, fluctuations in its value can have a profound effect on company performance from the top line to the bottom line. Human capital in the U.S. workplace in particular, has changed dramatically:

For the first time in the history of the United States men and women are working together side-by-side at the professional level. Women are no longer relegated to administrative/support positions.

Though working effectively together is the desire of both sexes, differences in male and female work styles and preferred working environments can sometimes create disharmony and other challenges, often resulting in decreased efficiency and reduced productivity.

When there is some form of a “gender gap” in the workplace it adversely affects more than just the corporate culture. It also impacts a company’s top line revenue, operating expenses, and bottom line growth.

Consider some key statistics:

  • 51% of the U.S. workforce is now women
  • 52% of corporate middle managers are women
  • 62% of all college degrees go to women
  • 70% of women earning 100K/year earn more than their husbands or boyfriends
  • 78% of jobs lost since December of 2007 have been to men
  • For the first time ever, four generations of workers are in the workforce simultaneously: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers,
    Gen-X, and Gen-Y

Differences in work ethics, knowledge of technology, preferred working environments, and generationally-specific psychographics all play a role in creating a workplace that is significantly different than it was as recently as ten years ago. Adjusting and adapting to such change, and helping women and men understand each other and work effectively together has become paramount to achieving organizational success.
