Gender Diversity in India In India, gender diversity bias is even more predominant. As per the ‘DivHERsity Benchmarking Report 2019’ which studied gender diversity in the Indian workplace across 300+ companies, only a quarter of India's workforce is female. This is corroborated by the ‘India Skills Report 2018’ that puts the economic participation of women in the workforce at 23% in 2018, a disconcerting fall from 32% in 2016. It is universally acknowledged that bridging the gender gap in India is not just a dire need, but a herculean task loaded with multiples challenges like work-family balance, choice of job profiles, work-place conditions and most importantly a mindset and attitudinal change. With India ranked 142 out of 149 countries in the economic opportunity and participation of women index [as per The <keyword id="2573327" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Global-Gender-Gap-Report">Global Gender Gap Report</keyword> 2018 of WEF], there needs to be concerted effort to increase India’s female labour force participation closer to the global average of 49%. Benefits of a Gender-balanced Workforce The nascent gender diversity across most companies in India has seen many roles such as oil and gas, manufacturing, construction and engineering with a male skew. On the flip side, there are also traditionally female-dominated jobs, such as elementary education and nursing. This is a glaring gap as global research, surveys and data-points clearly exhibit that companies which practice greater gender diversity have reported inherent benefits as they fully leverage and utilize the talent available: <ul><li>Improved financials and profitability: women in leadership positions, mixed-gender boards and pervasive presence across the rank and file have yielded better financial performance.</li><li>A better ‘employer brand’ perception: a progressive and positive reputation will attract the best talent.</li><li>Employee retention: inclusive culture is a booster for motivation and morale.</li><li>A loyal and broadened customer base: a diverse talent pool makes it easier to attract an increasingly diverse customer base. </li><li>A quality-focused shift: since diverse teams are more creative and better at problem-solving, a better gender-mix signifies the shift from quantity to quality.</li></ul>Creating Greater Gender Diversity There has to be a clear distinction between gender diversity and gender equality. Gender diversity doesn’t mean a 50:50 mix of males and females across the organization but a fair representation of both sexes and the critical fact that the hiring team should have an open mind for any openings without assumptions or prejudices. A shift towards a more gender-balanced organization requires structural and systemic changes: 1. A shift in the ‘human capital’ strategy: the diversity strategy to be strongly intertwined with the recruiting strategy e.g. removal of gender-coded words from job descriptions and postings. 2. Internal Communications thrust: an internal mindset build-up is essential to begin on the right footing and to shake-up any pre-conceived notions. 3. Leaders to be champions of diversity: creating an open, inclusive culture. 4. Women Leadership Programs: developing an internal pipeline as a ‘walk the talk’ showcase both internally and externally. 5. A balanced pay and benefits structure: robust, family-oriented perks that account for any ‘unintentional’ bias. Small steps at organizational and employer levels can prove to be a great national asset. As per a McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) report titled, “The Power of Parity: Advancing Women’s Equality in Asia Pacific”, addressing the gender parity issues could lead to 18% higher GDP for India, i.e. $770 billion by 2025. So, if we are able to bring more women into the workforce, the potential for impact is immense, transformational and with far reaching implications. - By Atul Raja, Executive Vice President - Global Marketing at Wadhwani Foundation

Mumbai, Apr 13 () The coronavirus outbreak and inventory correction before transition to BS-VI emission norms are expected to pull down aggregate revenue of some of the auto and auto ancillary companies by 26 per cent in March quarter even as the near-term weakness in demand is likely to continue as COVID-19 persists, a report said on Monday.Besides, the higher discounts and operating de-leverage are expected to contract aggregate margins by 240 basis point year-on-yea, Emkay Global Financial Services, said in its report on the auto and auto ancillaries. Most of the manufacturing activities, including in the auto sector, are suspended since March 25 when the government implemented a 21-day lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus.States like Maharashtra, Punjab, Odisha, Telangana and West Bengal have already announced the extension of lockdown till April 30. "Aggregate revenue (in March quarter) is likely to decline 26 per cent year-on-year, owing to the Covid-19 outbreak and inventory correction before BS6 transition. Firms that are likely to record a steep fall in revenue are deep cyclicals or companies with global linkages," Emkay Global said.The March quarter topline of the companies covered under the report are likely to be weak with 28 per cent year-on-year fall , it said adding the decline will be sharp for deep cyclicals and companies with global linkages.The auto makers included in its analysis are Tata Motors, M&amp;M Ltd, Maruti Suzuki India, Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motors, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, Eicher Motors, Escorts and Atul Auto. Apollo Tyres, Amara raja, Exide, Motherson Sumi and Bharat Forge were among the ancillary makers. The report said it expects the rebound in sales to be sooner in passenger vehicles, premium motorcycles and tractors segment."Although near-term weakness is expected to continue as the Covid-19 outbreak drags, a gradual recovery is likely from H2FY21 led by a low base, better rural sentiment and pent-up demand. We believe recovery to be sooner in PVs, premium motorcycles and tractors," Emkay Global said in the report. IAS SHW ANUANU
