The over-arching requirement in Diversity and Inclusion at workplace is that women want tools that
can help them balance work and family responsibilities. This equity is a universal requirement for
women, pandemic notwithstanding.
Women want to advance in their careers too
This balance is not to say that they are not ambitious to climb the corporate ladder. Contrary to
popular belief that women only want a ‘mere paying job,’ women rate Advancement in their careers
much higher in importance than what men usually rate for them. Most company leaders (often men)
still underestimate the challenges faced by women employees, thereby spending on ineffective D,E&I
initiatives, or not spending enough on effective/practical measures. (Boston Consulting Group, Jan.
2019)
Holding one-time-only Diversity training programs is one such ineffective yet over-rated measure. It is
never enough to reshape an organizational culture. (BCG Global Gender Diversity Survey, 2017)
Key # 1: Targeting Moments of Truth – A Hidden Gem
You don’t need to undertake a company-wide survey to find out what are critical junctures in a
woman’s career. And indeed, you don’t need to have superior gender intelligence to know that the
current pandemic is the time your women employees need your support more than ever before.
Companies with relatively limited resources during the pandemic need to focus on Moments of Truth
in women’s careers to generate strong ROI.

leave are at critical junctures in their careers. Suppose promising women leave due to a lack of flexible
options at the workplace. This will result in a financial penalty your organization will pay for losing on
Retention and eventually having a gender-skewed leadership team.
Can we ignore this Statistics? Higher representation of women in leadership teams results in 34%
greater returns for shareholders. (Fast Company)
Common Misconceptions lead to Blindspots
According to women, Retention & Advancement are more considerable challenges, but according to
men, Recruitment is the problem area in Gender Diversity. This difference is a misconception that can
lead to organizations misallocating valuable resources and overlooking potentially beneficial areas.
Key # 2: Flexible Work Options – A Proven Measure
If you can provide them flexible or part-time work options during the pandemic, these measures are
sure to pay off in the longer run, with greater Retention, higher Engagement, and Advancement. As
already mentioned further above, the rise of women’s careers is significant for your Diversity and
Inclusion program’s success. This advancement of women’s careers also leads to the visibility of Role-
Models, a Hidden Gem (Key # 3.)
Additionally, Employee Engagement is a critical indicator of your organization’s success.

It doesn’t take a lot to provide extra visibility to the women employees who are doing well. You can do
this by having them in crucial meetings, roundtable discussions, webinars, and other events. They will
value it, learn from it, and return the favour with increased Engagement. Moreover, they will resist any
familial pressures they could be facing to quit the job. As their learning and engagement opportunities
