Gender equality in the workplace has been a major concern for almost all the organizations and countries. Even in most developed countries we cannot find complete gender equality in true sense. This paper aims to discuss whether there is gender biasness in organizations or not? Gender biasness is considered as a major constraint towards the development process in any of the country and thus we have made an attempt to determine the root causes for gender gap that persists in our society. Also considering gender in the office is vital to encourage productive office environment and create a space that ensures both genders thrive. Jennifer Berdahl explains "Women tend to prefer egalitarian norms in work groups, whereas men favor hierarchical structures," in a study published in the journal Group Dynamics: Theory, Research and Practice. We have tried to investigate the differences on certain parameters like perception towards work and colleagues, workplace environment, satisfaction levels, salaries etc. Under the study, we have highlighted some basic causes of gender disparity against women including ignorance of female at higher positions, maternity leaves, lack of opportunities for promotion and so forth. We, therefore, have provided some policy implications for further improvement of the gender situation in the country
