WELCOME ADDRESS BY NEHA BAGARIA – FOUNDER & CEO, JOBSFORHER
PANEL DISCUSSION 1: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION — HOW WORKPLACES IN INDIA
EMBRACED CHANGE IN 2020
This panel discussion will focus on promoting diversity in the workplace. It goes without saying that more companies in India need to incorporate D&I programs. A strong D&I policy helps produce better business results while helping with hiring and retaining top women professionals.
The discussion will also revolve around how the Covid-19 situation was the great equaliser for gender diversity in high-order skill jobs. Diversity and inclusion have become a key priority for organisations, and work-from-home can just be a step in the right direction that can encourage more women participation in the workplace.
