This diploma thesis inspects the position of women in company boards. The gender equality in workplace has been a widely discussed topic during the last several years; nevertheless, the attention paid to women in leading positions remains significantly low, especially in the Czech Republic. The primary objective of this thesis is to identify and evaluate the position of women on company boards, and furthermore, to propose recommendations to ameliorate the discovered deficiencies. The theoretical part is based on the knowledge acquired from the scientific literature. The evaluation of the existing position of women in company boards is deducted from the qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with ten women from top management. These women are challenged by three fundamental barriers: work-life balance, lack of confidence and stereotypes. Due to the extensive scope of this topic, the recommendations shall be applied to three basic levels of authority: state, companies and individuals. The priority shall be put on the capacity of childcare facilities, the family-friendly oriented company policies and the personal development through mentoring and coaching.

Moje diplomová práce je věnována tématu rozdílného postavení žen a mužů na trzích práce. Hlavním ukazatelem, který na rozdíly ukazuje, jsou mzdové rozdíly. Diplomová práce obsahuje jak teoretická východiska a situaci v současné právní úpravě v České republice, tak také praktickou analýzu jednotlivých faktorů ovlivňujících mzdové rozdíly mezi muži a ženami. Tuto analýzu jsem vztáhla na Českou republiku a na mzdové rozdíly v jednotlivých krajích.

K vyrovnávání těchto rozdílů slouží také alternativní formy zaměstnání a větší podíl mužů na péči o rodinu.
