Agony of Working Women
Gigantic companies have taken steps to break their folklore
for Women employees’, from preventing the latter to drop out from the
workforce. By increasing the number of weeks for maternity break; making
security enabled provisions to work from home; is a step towards acknowledging
Women’s credibility as an employee. The said changes are being appreciated by
people around but still there are literate people who think that such incorporation will make the work place
like ‘walk in the park’ for women and in the worst scenario latter has to face
nastiest remarks such as “Why don’t she leave the job?” , “What’s the need to
work?” Nonetheless her agony is not restricted professionally only, actual fact
is that Women are always at the receiving end be it ‘Professionally’ or ‘Personally’.
It hurts, isn’t it? Indian society has adapted the custom of
having a working daughter-in-law; daughter; wife. Organization’s driving the
concept of treating both the genders ‘Male’, ‘Female’ at equal parity but they
are still struggling to come to terms of being demanding with respect to
household chores as well as upbringing of children. It’s like grabbing the
opportunity and making a choice but the outcome is not satisfactory. A
rebellious behavior to not change the thought process of being conservative
towards women. Society need to ‘move the cheese’ by adapting the change and
giving women space to grow in life accordingly. Organization’s job is to
implement + drive the policies executed for development of Women. Once the
policy is enforced, the organization need to plan a training for employees’ to
make them understand and value the policies applied for Women employees’ betterment.

Accept the ignorance
& make place of your own,
That’s when U moved Ur

Believe we are a stone’s throw away in moving the cheese completely
from the society as companies are in process of taking initiatives towards
women development. Recently, it is Amazon who has formed the women courier
delivering station in Kerala [team consists of 7 women], it’s a first kind of
experiment and the feedback is positive.
