Abstract

Organizations are these days realizing the
importance of women in the workforce and to tap
that talent, organizations are now-a-days putting
extra efforts. Workplaces were designed keeping
men in mind and which has been intercepting
women from continuing the competitive jobs and
career along with the family responsibilities. On
the other hand, there are various workplace barriers
which are adding to the other problems. Women
face several barriers at the workplace like sexual
harassment, glass ceiling and gender stereotype.
In response to these issues, organizations have
encouraged the efforts to implement womenfriendly
policies. Organizations have become
aware of the fact that women have different career
trajectory and that is the reason they should be
given extra attention. Promoting various
innovative women-friendly HR policies by
organizations will encourage more women to be
successful in their respective careers.
