Adhering to a skill-first approach, equal opportunity in the hiring process paves the way for a dynamic and sustainable workplace infusing the right talent to take the front seat. Equal opportunities ensure that aptitude becomes one of the defining metrics, bringing the most innovative ideas to the table.
Gender Gap in Employment
A study claims that 53% of top Indian companies have a male to female employee ratio of 10:1 or worse, widening the gender gap in employment. Unconscious bias too adds to the sandbag women carry despite possessing the right aptitude and flair to own the position.
However, tides are shifting, with certain conglomerates advancing women-exclusive positions and programs to foster inclusion and diversity in the workplace. In an attempt to create a sustainable workforce, where the curiosity-driven minds helm the leader seat, many organizations are showing commendable work in improving the ratio of their female workforce.
