Abstract

Asian American women face multidimensional and deep-seated challenges in the workplace, encompassing structural discrimination, cultural biases, and personal career development obstacles. Addressing these issues requires collaborative efforts across sectors. Organizationally, businesses must implement diversity and inclusion training programs, establish transparent promotion policies, and set clear diversity recruitment goals to create a barrier-free work environment and foster equal development opportunities for all employees. Government roles are also crucial—they should enact robust anti-discrimination laws and provide necessary career development support and resources to ensure workplace equality. On a personal level, Asian American women should proactively devise career development plans, engage extensively in professional networks, and participate in training to enhance key skills such as public speaking and leadership. These measures will help break down existing workplace barriers and promote a more just and inclusive workplace environment, contributing to societal diversity and equality overall.
