When the same was discussed with Nilanjan Roy, Times Business Solutions Head of Strategy, it was found that promoting gender diversity has caused many organisations to suffer as massive HR potential is lost due to stringent work timings resulting in a lack of female talent, primarily at senior levels. He further pointed out that a possible solution for this can be the adoption of flexible and female-centric policies along with a consistent employer branding strategy.

In their individual level survey, employees were asked if they feel that gender diversity is present in their organisation and can be noted by looking at the workforce.

Following were the findings for the same:

SituationPercentage
Feel Moderately that gender diversity is present in the workforce65%
Feel Significantly that gender diversity is present in the workforce25%
Do not feel at all that gender diversity is present in the workforce10%
