Scenario 1 Danielle is the practice manager of a large dental practice in the city.She is the only female staff memberat management level.The CEO often refers to her as the 'office mum' although no male managers areever referred to as 'office dads'.He also expects her to handle office birthdays and always asks her to organise coffee for their monthly managerial meetings.Danielle is becoming really frustrated with these requests and the 'office mum' label.She tells her CEO of her concerns, and he responds by telling her that she is being 'overly sensitive'. a) Do you believe that the CEO is displaying any sexist behaviour, or is Danielle being overly sensitive?Outline your reasons for your response including any legal and ethical consideration and consequences. Response should be 150-200 words. The CEO is displaying sexist behaviour by referring to Danielle as the "office mum" based on her gender while the other males co-workers don't receive nick names based on their gender. He is also asking her to perform the stereotypical female gender roles of the office and treating her differently to her male management co-workers. He also shrugs off her serious concerns as her being overly sensitive which is also a generalised strereotype of females. The sex discrimination act 1984 provides obligation to the CEOto promote equality between men and women, and eliminate descrimination based on gender within the workplace. If the CEO continues to ignore Danielle's complaints legal consequences could arise if Danielle chooses to take her complaint further.
