Using the gendered organizations perspective, the study analyses female managers' perceptions about their career advancement within this sector. It identifies key enablers and strategies to facilitate women's career advancement. The findings reveal that despite improvements in career opportunities for women within the UK hospitality organizations, there is still a long way to go in terms of employment policies and practices that enable women's career progression, which includes family-friendly practices; proactive and transparent gender equality measures; support networks and mentors; and personal development plan
