The majority of workers (59 percent) think women are treated differently than men in the workplace, with 42 percent claiming that women are treated worse, and 17 percent reporting better treatment towards females.

A recent Harris poll of 2,500 adults, conducted on behalf of Addeco, reveals that an overwhelming percentage of American workers, 95 percent, believe women have made important advancements in the workplace over the past ten years; however, the majority, 86 percent, also believe that the glass ceiling is very much alive in some shape or form.

According to 51 percent of workers, taking on leadership roles that were previously held by men is where women have made the most important advancement, compared to only 1 in 10 (11 percent) who feel the most important achievement has been closing the pay gap with men.

Interestingly, there is notable disconnect between how men and women view gender equality at the workplace. While only 6 percent of working women think the glass ceiling is non-existent, almost four times as many working men (22 percent) feel the same. Further, the majority of women workers (61 percent) think they're treated "worse than men", with only 24 percent of men agreeing with this statement.

The younger the worker, the less likely he or she is to observe gender inequality in the workplace. While only 3 out of 10 (30 percent) Gen Y workers think women are treated worse than men, nearly half of Baby Boomers (45 percent) feel the same way.
