To be able to have a flexible work set-up despite personal commitments towards family and kids will also increase the number of women in the Indian workforce.

This article is part of the never-ending effort that ensures women are aware of their rights with respect to workspace and do not become an ignorant victim of sexual harassment despite having laws that exist for their personal and professional well-being.

This law and its guidelines require any workspace to have policies and mechanisms in place to ensure the safety of women employees, clients, customers, visitors from any form of sexual harassment in the premises. For those who are yet to discover the basics of this law may read the below that simplifies them for your benefit.
