If an organization puts women returnees on a lower track what is the best correction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Refresher training and a performance-based career pathway
The appropriate correction is to offer returning women any needed refresher training and assess career progression through current performance, competence, and capability. Placing them on a lower track merely because of a career break reinforces gender bias. Option B permanently restricts opportunity, while C and D are based on discriminatory assumptions. Exam tip: In workplace gender-equity questions, prefer decisions based on merit and performance rather than career-break stereotypes.
