Companies must strive to retain productive women employees
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has become the largest employer of women in India?s private sector, but recently more women than men have left the company. TCS ended its work-from-home (WFH) policy and announced that employees should work from the office (WFO) at least three days a week. This shift in policy has caused more women than men employees to resign, highlighting the unequal sharing of home and care responsibilities in Indian homes. A hybrid workplace model is emerging as the norm, but companies should allow flexible working models based on productivity and offer pay cuts if necessary.
