Founder, Director of Avaali Solutions Pvt Ltd, Ms. Srividya Kannan’s interview published in yourstory on the future of the IT Industry.
Invest in flexible work options
The future of work will continue to be hybrid with significant uncertainties regarding the pandemic. This could be a blessing and a curse for women as they juggle the numerous facets of care for the family while also showing up for work in their best faculties. Work from home could be a blessing due to the time saved on travel and spending more time with loved ones. On the other hand, this could be more stressful for some women, especially if they have children while also tending to daily household routines.
Women have traditionally been working on several shifts as they took care of work and home. Women are stated to contribute at least three times more than men towards household work and caregiving. With limited possibilities of reliance on support infrastructure, including schools and day-care, all shifts are now combined into one, and several women may find this very stressful. To help with diversity and encourage better women participation at work, enterprises will continue to invest in providing flexible working options coupled with an entrepreneurial culture that offers more freedom while keeping a close eye on delivering outcomes.
