5 Companies Women Would Love To Work At
Working women have it hard enough – managing a 9 to 6 job along with family, friends, and the demand of staying fit and healthy is the last thing on the agenda. We all look for a job that gives us more than just a good salary – flexible working hours, innovation driven environment, medical insurance, the list is long.
But what if the place you work for gives you free benefits that help you stay fit? Yeah… you heard that right – a job that looks after you! At work!
Today’s companies need to attract and retain the best and they are upping their game to give employees a great workplace focused on professional AND personal development.
Let’s check out the Top 5 companies that believe in much more than just hard work!
RMSI
If you thought Google would top this list with its sleep pods and pool tables, you were wrong! RMSI has won this and is our number 1 pick!
An IT service company that provides geospatial and software services to clients, RMSI has a plethora of super cool ways to help you stay active and balance your life. A Tai-Chi teacher helps women like you kick some real ass, an On-Call yoga instructor is a great way to stay flexible and enjoy a workout with your office buddy and the meditation and physiotherapy sessions help you relax and calm after that hectic weekend or work week.
But wait! There’s more! To make the work environment safer, RMSI has a strong anti-sexual harassment policy and protection for women, while for mothers or mothers-to-be, they offer flexible work-timings and paid leaves during sickness and maternity ….
RMSI has our vote as being the best place for women to work in India!
Google India
Our beloved Google ranks number 2, and with more than 2,000 super smart and innovative employees, it’s no wonder that fun and work are intertwined at their office! The aesthetics, colors, furniture, office style and overall comfort, keeps employees on a happy note throughout the day. But there’s more to Google than red, yellow and blue! Employees have access to yoga practitioners and gym trainers, all day, everyday at the office, they can have a great indoor workout at the T.T. or pool tables or head outside for some fun sports. And of course they have the most loved sleep pods that help you take that quick nap after that heavy desi lunch or give you that extra zzz’s after that late night out!
Godrej Consumer Products
Godrej is a leader at spotting great minds at college campuses and today employs over 2,000 people in India. While young adults bring energy and new ideas to the organization, women and gender equality is critical for Godrej to grow. With initiatives such as the Godrej Alliance for Parents that helps young parents discuss child care and education etc. Godrej wants to be able to provide the most supportive environment for its employees.
They give new parents a fully paid 6 month maternity leave, 3-month adoption leave as well as on-campus crèhes to ensure that women can take care of their children and go visit them any time of the day!
SAP Labs, India
SAP Labs employs 5000 people and aims to help its employees deal with different circumstances by offering different types of benefits. On regular days, you can drop by for a yoga session to strengthen your mind and body or opt for flexible working hours.
Women are offered paid maternity leaves and work from home options after childbirth, while moms-to-be can take prenatal yoga classes with special trainers at work! There is also a special post-maternity program that makes sure that women have a smooth transition back to work post pregnancy.
American Express, India
AmEx believes that promoting talent, growth and positive relationship with employees works best for a company that employs over 9000 people in India. And we couldn’t agree more! Staying positive at the workplace is key to counter stress. Although they do not have an in-office gym, they do realize the importance of healthy living, and yoga sessions are held regularly to promote healing and drive away any anxiety.
