Abstract

Gender Inclusion at the workplace is a necessary step towards eclectic growth of an organisation, holistic development of society at large and sustainable development at the national and global level. The trajectory towards gender equality and the simultaneous abrogation of gender gap at the macro-level begins with bringing about changes at the micro-level. This article aims to explore the extant condition of the working women, what they feel about the security of women at the workplace, both at present and in the futuristic hybrid model and the possible changes which can make the workplace amenable to their safety and further ameliorate the workplace environment.  An effort has also been made to skim through the existing women-centred policies like the Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal of Sexual Harassment at the workplace (POSH) Act, 2013; women’s awareness of the existence of such laws and the implementation of the same in praxis. Responses of working women in the corporate sector have been analysed and their expectations about enhancing safety at the workplace have been used for recommending further policy decisions.
