Is Your Company Environment Friendly to Women? 4 Ways to Get There

Doing this will not only contribute to the growth of your company and its popularity, but also to the overall development of the country as well; for a balanced family will produce well-settled children who will grow into the responsible citizens of tomorrow. Here are 4 easy ways for your company to get there and make your women workers feel valued:

1. Offer Flexible Hours - Flexible hours are one of the best possible perks you can give your employees, especially women employees. A woman's life at home often revolves around the needs of their family. There are 1001 tasks to complete, and they always seem to be running against the clock. Hence, flexible hours would be an excellent way for her to do justice to both her workplace and home duties.
   
   Many women choose to resign and turn into full-time home makers because they find it so difficult to manage their time and do justice to both home and work. Many companies end up losing some brilliant minds just because they are not willing to change along with the times. Flexible hours or the ability to work from home for 2-3 days per week can sometimes make a huge difference.
    
2. Nearby Child Care Facilities - Women who have small children often have a lot of problems with the care of their babies. An onsite childcare facility or one nearby the office is a great relief to the already overburdened mother. With a nursery close by, she would not have to worry about rushing out of the office to pick up the baby.
    
3. Offer Other Benefits That Will Allow Women More Freedom to Take Care of Their Family - Things such as reduced pay in exchange for more holiday time, the ability to change from part-time to full-time and back, etc. can help a lot.
    
4. Measures to Ensure Women Employees are Safe at Work - Sexual harassment is real and a terrible thing to suffer. Your company should have zero tolerance to sexual harassment and put in adequate checks and barriers to ensure that this does not happen in your organization. Women should feel safe to work at all times alongside their male colleagues, and especially bosses.
