Are regressive biases still entrenched in Indian corporate spaces

Corporate India's gender diversity agenda largely remains an empty promise and an unfinished task as its managers are neither sensitised nor equipped to drive it. Male managers do not look at gender diversity as a business case and organisations are not doing enough to push them, reveals a survey of 1,067 managers across different companies and sectors carried out by diversity and inclusion consulting firm Avtar. Findings of the survey - Voices of Men: Gender Inclusion in Corporate India from the Majority's Perspective shared exclusively with ET Magazine show that eight out of 10 managers believe that providing women with additional support like flexible working can be done only if they are high performers while half of them say it is better that women take a career break when work-life integration becomes challenging.
