title: Men and women are different.
abstract: Examine your existing incentive programs. Study your incentives to make sure they aren't geared toward only male workers. Build in rewards for group achievements. Studies show that women are better at building consensus than their male counterparts. Help women workers map out a career plan. The glass ceiling still looms large at many organizations. Work with female employees to set goals and career paths. Put more emphasis on recognition. The history of corporate America's discrimination against women is still fresh in the minds of many and, because of that, women appear to value meaningful recognition more than some men.
