An industry roundtable was recently organised on โ€œAdvancing Gender-Inclusive Workplacesโ€, convened by IPE Global, Scope Global Skills University, and Confederation of Indian Industry. Madhya Pradesh in Bhopal. This event brought together Industry Associations, CXOs, and HR Heads from leading industries in Madhya Pradesh to discuss pathways to create an enabling environment for womenโ€™s participation in formal employment.

FSG, represented by Ms. Pavithra Renganarayanan, led the session on identifying priority actions to strengthen womenโ€™s participation in the workforce and shared gender-diversity resources that can be adopted to increase womenโ€™s representation in various industrial sectors.

The Roundtable focused on strengthening womenโ€™s participation in formal employment by-
ยท Addressing the social barriers and hiring biases that hinder participation;
ยท Unpacking challenges that prevent hiring and retention;
ยท Building genuinely inclusive workplaces;
ยท Improving accessibility to safe, affordable accommodation and support systems near workplaces.

We extend our sincere thanks to Scope Global Skills University, FSG, and all participating leaders and hope to further our discourse into positive outcomes for womenโ€™s workforce participation overtime.
