This case study involves Deborah Westman and her work at the Bank of Montreal (BMO) as a junior employee. Deborah has aspirations of progressing within the bank to higher levels of leadership, but is concerned about possible barriers due to her gender that have prevented other women from advancing. The bank is actively seeking to provide better opportunities for women to attain key leadership positions through the use of a task force and new policies.

Possible strategies will be recommended for Deborah in order to assist in her career.

The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 was enacted for the purpose of giving effect to the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sex, marital status or pregnancy in areas including education, accommodation and provision services (Strachan & French, 2007).

I used to work in a media which is specialized in yachting industry, which is a traditional male-dominated profession. Through the communication with practitioners in all relevant sectors of this industry, I have a general idea of the changes and the current situation of the proportion of men and women in this field.
