How to increase Women percentage in the workforce.

-


Oil and gas industry has historically been considered a male bastion with  women accounting for just roughly 8% workforce in India and 22% globally. This further deteriorates as one move up the ladder with just 5% women occupying senior leadership position in the oil and gas sector in India.

Women also have a disproportionately low representation in technical jobs, where majority of them are restricted to desk.

Should companies, especially top management, take targeted steps towards addressing the skewed diversity ratio and ensuring fair participation of women in the sector as it would lead to better innovation and improved financial performance.

They had excelled in their respective fields which we never thought would be possible by a women. Today, we can see more& more women around us excelling in their own careers & at home. During the success of their journey they are empowering themselves. Kiran Bedi has done marvelously well in the police force & now in the Governance of Pudduchery, the union territory of India. Kalpana Chawala has reached the space, Mary Kom in the fields of sports and Maryam Mirzakhani has won a Fields Medal in the field of Mathematics.
