Gender inequality is a problem in some workplaces. Despite decades of

research and advocacy on gender equality, little attention has been paid to broad

workplace measures to promote gender equality. We address this gap Based on the

findings and conclusions of workplace gender equality, examining the gap in gender

equality research, and providing a practitioner paradigm for organizational gender

equality action.

This study used a descriptive type of method and utilized purposive sampling for

the selected working students of Human Resource Development Management

students of Taguig City University as the respondents of this study. Data collection

was done through a researcher-made survey instrument that captured the problems

define under the statement of the problem. Frequency distribution, slovin’s formula,

percentage, weighted mean, and ANOVA test were used to treat and analyze the

data collected. The Perception of respondents on Implementation of Workplace

Gender Equality in terms of the variables under the statement of the problem number

two and measured what experiences they encountered and rated whether Strongly

agree, Agree, Disagree and Strongly Disagree. In terms of profile, the majority of the

respondents are female, single and within the age bracket of 18 to 22 years old, third-

year college students of HRDM, and working as a crew within 6months to 1year

length of service in the company.

The findings revealed that the assessment of the respondents based on the six

goals of HRDM working student's verbal interpretation was strongly agree and for the

verbal interpretation in problems encountered by the respondents relating to gender

equality/inequality was seldom. Also, the analysis stated that there is no significant

difference between the perception of workplace gender equality and the respondent’s

profile. Based on the findings and conclusion the researchers recommend having

awareness about fair insights and understandings in all genders and maintain

equality in the workplace.

This research looks into the subject of gender discrimination in the workplace and

how it affects employee satisfaction. This study looks at how organizations use the

statutory equality plan and gender equality policies to manage human resource

development for working students. Because many firms include workforce diversity in

their gender equality policies, worker diversity was also a major consideration in our

study.
