It’s great to see that Milky Mist is supporting its women workforce. However, I’d like to share some challenges that I and others in my network have encountered, which highlight areas for improvement:SATHISHKUMAR T 1. **Pregnancy Transfers**: My wife, while working in a bank, was transferred from Kerala to Erode during her 8th month of pregnancy. We traveled together on February 1st 2008, she joined, took six months of maternity leave on same day and then returned to Kerala and delivered a baby girl after 29 days. This had its pros and cons, especially at such a critical time. 2. **Challenges for Lactating Mothers**: After six months, she moved back to Erode with my parents. As an Assistant Manager, she often worked until 7:30 pm, sometimes as late as 9:00 pm. For a lactating mother, balancing work and personal needs was difficult, though she managed to come home a few times during the day, thanks to the bank’s support. 3. **Job Insecurity During Personal Crisis**: A friend with over 10 years of experience in the same firm was forced to resign due to frequent leave needed to care for her husband’s medical condition. There was no value for her 10 year contributions. 4. **Healthy Food Access for Late-Working Women**: Women in leadership positions often work late, and providing access to healthy company-provided meals could support their well-being and productivity. She should also get an opportunity to get their food for her families. 5. **Work-Life Balance in Parenting**: Women are often the primary attendees at parent-teacher meetings, which can further add to the challenge of balancing work and home life. Provide break up leaves in hours. 6. **Shift Assignments**:HR departments often avoid assigning women to night shifts to avoid logistical challenges, like arranging transport or obtaining local body permissions. Gender sensitive policies could help address these concerns more effectively. 7. **Promotion Challenges**:There’s sometimes a reluctance to assign women to roles involving travel, which can impact their career growth. When One board member met a newly recruited lady in leadership role, he has expressed that I am seeing a women for the first time in this position, Are you confident? Gender policy should include considerations around promotions to ensure equal opportunity. 8. **Feedback Opportunities**: Conducting regular surveys, such as Gallup polls, could provide insights into the specific needs and challenges faced by women employees. 9. **Childcare Facilities**: Having a dedicated area where children can stay until parents are ready to pick them up could greatly support working parents, especially mothers. For parents of younger children, knowing their kids are safe and close by can help maintain productivity in the late afternoon hours. These experiences highlight the importance of gender policies that are responsive to the unique challenges women face in the workforce. Miles to go. These r just a few thoughts to share

Over the years, Milky Mist Dairy has become a workplace for women in majority. I see that women bring diverse perspectives to the workplace. They also cooperate, enhance collaboration, and foster innovation. Their unique perspective on life in general creates inclusive cultures and contributes significantly to organisational success.
