An equal world is a
better place to live in. It promotes rise in economy, healthier communities and
a stronger business.
Even today many people
believe in myths regarding women inefficiently handling situations. Such as-
they lack in confidence, lack in ambition, must handle more work at home rather
than in office, they opt out of big roles and that there isn’t enough women
representation.
Workplaces must develop
policies and programmes that support women as mothers and men as fathers with
sufficient paid maternity and paternity leaves. The organization must not think
that maternity leave is a career inflection point that only affects women.
Big businesses must focus
on making a fair pay the minimum standard and income equality the new priority.
They must also hold a 50:50 representation at each level in the organization.
Thus giving women a fair pay and fair chance to perform and prove themselves.
Female leaders of
Germany, Finland, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, Taiwan and Iceland are far
better in effectively managing the Coronavirus pandemic than the other male
leaders across the globe.
So the focus must be
laid on fixing the system and not the women.
Some tips for women to
maintain work- life balance:
- Don’t be guilt struck when unable to manage the personal and professional life at the same time.
- Sort out your priorities.
- Draw a line between personal and professional life.
- Talk out your difficulties with your employers
- Learn to delegate the work.
- Stay connected
with your loved ones during the day.
- Take out some
time for yourself.
