ABSTRACT
Provides a brief idea of what topic we are
covering in the report.

Gender Diversity is a part of organizational


diversity.

It deals with the equitable representation of men


and women in the workplace.

Equal representation of women in government is an


important measure of progress toward a more
diverse and inclusive workforce.

Team conducted a survey for primary research into


the topic.
GENDER DIVERSITY IN PUBLIC
SECTOR - AN INTRODUCTION
Gender diversity refers to an organization's equitable or fair
representation of persons of diverse gender.Gender
mainstreaming as a method is sure to create results.

Equality and diversity at all levels and in all sectors of government


improves government function

AIM - understanding: What is the stage of gender diversity


management in public organization and how has it changed
over the years?

The objects in the research are anonymous individuals currently


deputed in PSU’s in India.

Reason for choosing Indian PSU’s - igender inequality has been an


evident part of Indian economy; understanding the trend of its
evolution and factors/barriers influence this change is imperative.
INCEPTION OF PSU’S IN INDIA

Inequality in social and economic terms, a


weakened industrial base, unemployment,
insufficient investment, a lack of
infrastructure, and a general lack of
education and talent - ignited the fire for
creation of PSU's in India.

To address these issues and put India on


the path to growth, a strategy for Public
Sector Undertakings was developed.

India used planned economic growth plans


that included the establishment of PSUs
like ONGC, EIL, Indian Oil, and BHEL were
established
PSU’S IN INDIA

A public sector business is a government-


owned enterprise, government-owned
corporation, statutory corporation, or a
nationalized firm

PSUs provide enticing salary packages


(beginning wages), which are frequently
greater than comparable private-sector
roles

The most significant benefit of working for a


PSU is the high level of job security that a
government position provides
LITERATURE REVIEW
CREATING INCLUSIVE WORKSPACES IN
PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKINGS IN INDIA

Gender diversity in the workplace is a


pressing problem across the world. It is
seen as a factor of a company's ability to
develop, adapt, innovate, and prosper.
Building and keeping workforce diversity
is quickly becoming a top management
objective as well as a business
requirement.
DECLINING TRENDS IN FEMALE
LABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATION IN
INDIA

Hiring, retaining, and advancing women in


their careers is a significant difficulty. The
female labour force participation rate in
India has remained conspicuously low. At
higher organisational levels, the number of
women continues to decline. Women make
up 42 percent of new graduates in India, but
just 24 percent of entry-level professionals.

The Government of India (2017b) reaffirmed


the downward trend in female labor-force
participation.
WOMEN IN PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS IN
INDIA

Women make up 115318 of the 1.23 million,


accounting for 9.36% of the total. It was 9.81
percent in 2013-14. In 2014-15, it was 9.45
percent, and in 2015-16, it was 9.36 percent.

Arundhati Bhattacharya became the first woman


to lead the SBI in 2013, and she was followed by
women at other banks. Several women have
been appointed as Directors or C-level
executives in government-owned banks.

With Dr. V R Lalithambika and her team


managing India's ambitious Gaganyan project,
the ISRO is another institution where the gender
diversity picture looks bright
OBJECTIVE AND RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
THE TOPIC OF GENDER DIVERSITY

Objective
This report aims to examine the topic of
gender diversity in the public sector
organizations

Research Methodology
Primary data was collected from 60 subjects
with the help of a questionnaire over
telephonic interview.
Secondary data was collected from research
papers, digital newspaper articles, blogs, etc.
Data Analysis
On analyzing the responses
collected from the survey,
charts were prepared to
present the statistics. Stated
below were the findings from
the population

SUBJECTS GAVE AGAINST THE FACTORS
WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE GENDER
DIVERSITY IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The percentage of subjects who agreed that their organization has ~ 30-40% women
employees in the workforce was higher than the percentage of subjects who agreed that
their organization had lower percentage of women in their workplace. However, the former
employees also filled that the total workforce falls under the higher bracket (2000-5000 and
>5000 employees), thus signifying that the women in workforce are still on the lower side of
the scale.
With increasing gender sensitivity and gender inclusivity campaigns, their is a subtle
increase in women workforce participation. However equal prolific participation is still a long
way ahead. The data in the above chart (Fig. 7,8,9) clearly states that the age old dogma still
has very strong influence in the public workforce scenario and this in turn is the biggest
hurdle to an active, aggressive, enforcible, gender equal workforce.
As per the survey undertaken, the factor inhibiting the active participation of both genders in
the workforce ranges from conventional ones to more specific like location, position, and
workplace environment safety.
·Contrary to the general assumption of women and men being more tilted to personal
responsibilities in public organizations, our sample space puts a question on this notion for
reconsideration in the recent times.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
·Through secondary research we have learned-The demography of a work-group critically
influences group processes which affect group performance, which in turn shapes
organization performance. Having analysed the gender proportion trends of some Indian
Public sector organizations we conclude that gender diversity in current workplace scenario
is still not an equal representation of all types.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Conclusion
it is evident that gender diversity is more than merely guaranteeing equal representation of
men and women on teams. There is an urgent need to consider the context in which the
diversity performance relationship is being investigated.
As we examined various factors contribute to the decisions made by subjects towards their
workplace and job responsibilities, public organizations should act upon the shortcomings.
If Indian PSU’s do not aggressively promote gender diversity in the workplace, they will
miss out on the economic advantages of improved company reputation and talent
management.

Recommendations
Creating a female-friendly labour force

Creating a welcoming environment in the workplace

Providing equal responsibilities for both genders


LIMITATIONS

·In-depth collection of secondary data was not done due to time constraint

·The primary study was restricted to few public sector organizations only and also to 60
people.

·There were a few limitations faced while preparing this project due to time and
literature constraints.

·Lack of time and the casual attitudes of the subjects leading to approximations in data.
