More than 50% of the men feel that there is an increase in bias against women at workplace states TeamLease Survey
Mumbai, 24th November, 2020:Gender bias has been prevalent in India and many developed countries for centuries. With increasing awareness, women are coming in the forefront undertaking crucial roles, however, the bias still hampers their growth financially and professionally. TeamLease did a survey with male employees to understand what they think about the gender bias especially during maternity phase. More than 50% of the male employees felt that there is an increase in gender bias against womenin the last two yearsin spite of the implementation of Maternity Benefit Act. As per the research,48% of male employees have attributed increasing gender bias as one of the biggest reasonsfor attrition of women at workplace. Around 54% of the male respondents stated discrimination at workplaceto be the root cause of women not progressing in their career. Similarly more than 28% of men felt that there is an increase in gender bias in thehiring stage itself.
Elaborating about the findings, Ms. Rituparna Chakraborty, Executive Vice President and Co-Founder, TeamLease Services, said, “It is very disturbing to know that even in today’s world women are treated differently. However, the only silver lining is that there is a growing realization amongst men that theregressive attitude and not talent that is pulling women folks down. As the saying goes, realization is the beginning of the change, now that there is a unanimous acceptance we are hopeful that the way women are treated both at the corporate world as well as in the society will undergo a transformation.”
A detailed study covering the entire gambit of women participation at work, challenges including policies like maternity bill, as per the findings, it is not only India Inc even male employees perceives Maternity benefit Amendments Act 2017 to be not very effective. Most of the male respondents (36%) echoed that the act is one sided and they were of the opinion that both the parents should get paid leave for childcare.

o Childcare Leave-Male Employee Perspective: 45% believe both parents should be provided paid leave. Most men agree that workplace gender bias has increased against women retention(48%) and career progression(54%).
o Post-maternity women retention efforts by employers: are not aligned with actual challenges highlighted by women. Nearly one in four employers (24%) provide flexible working hours to reduce post maternity attrition, whereas the key challenge highlighted by women are wage cuts(30%)
· Job Opportunity Loss: Aviation, Retail, and Tourism continued to cause net job opportunity loss for women during FY 2019-20, belying expectations of net gain. Education, Real estate and Manufacturing also caused job opportunity loss, in place of the expected mixed outlook.
