Delhi NCR [India], May 7: AmbitionBox, India's No. 1 platform for company reviews and salary insights has unveiled the list of India's most gender-inclusive workplaces as part of the Top Rated Companies for Women to Work for 2024, rated by over 2.8 lakh women employees from over 50,000 companies across 16 categories. AmbitionBox Employee Choice Awards 2024 (ABECA) awards put a special spotlight on companies leading the way in creating inclusive environments for women in the workforce.
The importance of gender diversity in the workforce cannot be overstated. A recent OXFAM India Discrimination Report highlighted a staggering 22 per cent gender pay gap for the same job roles, with men earning Rs 19,779 on average while women earned Rs 15,578.
However, positive change is underway. Data from EY reveals that women's representation on corporate boards has increased from 6 per cent in 2013 to 18 per cent in 2022, reflecting a growing commitment to fostering inclusivity at the highest levels of leadership.
Mayur Mundada, Founder and Business Head of AmbitionBox, said, "AmbitionBox aspires to become the preferred platform for the Indian workforce, providing them with the means to explore potential employers and access genuine company reviews from their employees, fostering transparency and informed decision-making. With ABECA, we're proud to recognise organizations driving positive change for women in the workplace."
He further added, "What makes ABECA unique is its transparency - all reviews are anonymous employee submissions, truly capturing the experiences of those working in these cultures."
