The release of the report came at a time when corporate India is all set to reimagine workplaces for women in India through HerRising which saw more than 3000 women attending the online career event along with more than 50 top companies looking to hire potential candidates, claims the report.
Highlighting the need for better workplaces for women, Chella Pandian Pitchai, AVP, Global Head, Talent, Learning, Leadership Development, Culture & DEI, Biocon Biologics Limited said, “We need to address the bias across the pyramid – bottom, middle and top. To mark this change we should focus on our mindset, environment and opportunities. To begin with, mindset is the biggest change we need to make. Second is the environment which has infrastructure that supports women professionals. Third is culture fit opportunities.”
Speaking on the findings of the report, Neha Bagaria, CEO and Founder of JobsForHer said, “It is heartening to see several organisations taking a step in the right direction to make the workplace more women-friendly. We are hopeful that this trend will enable and encourage more women returnees, women in tech and women in leadership to enter the workforce and climb the professional ladder, while ensuring gender parity across all levels.”
