Organisations attempt to address gender equality in the workplace by offering family-friendly benefits such as parental leave.

Organisations attempt to address gender equality in the workplace by offering family-friendly benefits such as parental leave. However, many mothers and fathers are still reluctant to take long parental leave due to potential bias and discrimination from their co-workers and supervisors at work. Required to apply relevant OB theories/frameworks to address the following questions:

1. How does bias from co-workers or supervisors influence the willingness of mothers/fathers to utilise parental leave?
2. How does progressive parental leave policy (or lack thereof) impact on the goal of sustainability? To address this question, focus on the Triple Bottom Line framework covered in the lecture, in particular the social (people) and economic (profit) elements.
3. In light of the challenges and benefits addressed in the two questions above, what recommendations (maximum three recommendations) could you offer to organisations as to how to address gender bias and improve access of parental leave for women and men in the workplace.

Subheadings should identify each of the three sections. Only need to address the three questions identified above, i.e.,.Do not need to write an introduction or conclusion
