Question:
As the new human resources [HR] manager you should now create portions that specifically address gender issues and are targeted at training and raising the sensitivity of all employees to potential gender issues. It should include a section on how the supervisor should or should not handle certain gender-based workplace issues.

Can he or she write a job requirement that only one gender can meet, such as a strength requirement?
