Abstract
This paper presents a study to understand
women’s experiences of
exclusion in corporate workplaces.
Using semi-structured, indepth
interviews of 17 mid-senior
management women corporate
professionals working with large
Indian and multinational conglomerates
across industries and
functions, this study unravels their
lived experiences of being excluded
at workplace. Respondents
reported overwhelmingly high
numbers of discriminatory instances
of being ‘left out’ or ‘kept
out’ pointing to the evolution of a
new theme of gender microaggression
and adding to the taxonomy.
Its ubiquitous signals the
silent proliferation of covert
microaggressions into women’s
daily workplace experiences, leaving
them lonely and demotivated.
This study adds significant inputs
for professionals still struggling to
find the exact cause of leakage to
the women’s talent pipeline.
