Zinnov-Intel India Gender Diversity Benchmark Study Released- Having uniform women-friendly programs across organizations and including men as allies are key to accelerating gender diversity in the workplace BANGALORE, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Zinnov, a leading global management consulting firm, in collaboration with Intel India released the findings of their in-depth study titled, 'Zinnov-Intel India Gender Diversity Benchmark' as part of an industry initiative Be-WISE (Women Innovators, Social Leaders and Entrepreneurs), that aims to accelerate inclusive participation of women in the workplace. The study evaluated 60 companies from the Indian ecosystem, comprising Global Capability Centers (GCCs), Technology Service Providers, Start-ups, and Indian companies to gain an understanding of the current diversity landscape, with the intent of baselining key practices to improve diversity. It also analyzed the statistics around gender diversity and various organizational policies and practices that give a comprehensive perspective of women in corporate India. Key findings of the study:
Speaking about the study's findings, Pari Natarajan, CEO, Zinnov, said, "Concerted efforts over the years have moved the needle from 21% to 30% for the diversity numbers. However, the commitment to change needs to move beyond an organizational setting and include an ecosystem-wide lens. Enabling Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) career options for young women, supporting women-led start-ups, and encouraging other women entrepreneurs are some of the more impactful initiatives that organizations need to actively look at." Nivruti Rai, Country Head, Intel India, and Vice President of Data Center Group, Intel Corp said, "Intel India is deeply committed to advancing women's participation in India's economy and steering its progress through collaboration with the industry, government and academia. I believe the Zinnov-Intel India Gender Diversity study offers valuable data, insights and industry best practices that would be instrumental in furthering the goal of 'Be-WISE' to accelerate inclusive participation of women in the workplace. It is my hope that we can learn from one another and collaborate to create a truly gender diverse and inclusive industry."
