4. Bring Females in Senior Positions
In most cases, having male employees in senior positions have created hinderance in the selection of female employees in the team. Cases of opportunity discrimination and female
harassment are also registered. Having female leadership can help in increasing trust among female talent towards organisations. According to recent SEBI guidelines it is now
mandatory to have a female director in listed companies.
5. Paid Parental Leaves
Offering paid parental leave for both men and women is significant to both retaining and attracting female talent. Having equal family benefits and leave policy are critical for women
employees. Though there is a cultural shift, but women are still responsible for child care and household duties.
6. Target Women directly
If companies have to find female employees, then they have to advertise where they can find more women. There are forums, communities and dedicated websites (like – SHEROES) that
cater directly to professional women. Posting recruiting ads with direct communication to hire female employees only (or also) increases the chances of receiving more profiles.
7. Build right Training Programs
Building a more diverse workforce cannot happen overnight. Organisations have to focus on employer branding that favors a culture of growth and development of female employees.
Implement female focused training programs which not only enhances their onjob skills but also encourages them to achieve worklife balance. Give women employees chance to
explore the opportunities available in the organisations and decide where they fit better.
It is now the role of Senior HR Leaders to take the command and work towards decreasing the gap between male to female hiring numbers. We at Applicant Tracking System always rely
on the fact that an organisation can run with equilibrium of both the genders.
