While this is partly due to more women opting for higher studies or non-traditional job roles, the fact remains that the gender ratio is highly skewed in the workforce. At the same time, it is estimated that a 10% increase in the women labour force participation could add $770 billion to India’s GDP by 2025. There is thus a clear incentive for companies to support their female employees, be it in the office building or at a coworking space. Some of the compelling reasons to set up a dedicated office area for women are as follows.
Support for working mothers
A major reason why women find it difficult to flourish at work after becoming mothers is the lack of facilities at work to cater to young children. A dedicated office area for women at Kontor Space includes private areas where mothers can nurse or change their infants in comfort, thus allowing them to look after their children and work at the same time.
Enhanced safety
Particularly in countries like India, women are often at risk of verbal or physical harassment at the workplace, which adds to their stress and may even compel them to leave their jobs. Having a women-only space allows female employees to work in security and comfort, thus relieving them of mental pressure and helping them be more productive.
Freer collaboration
It is often observed that women are reluctant to express their views at meetings or come up with new initiatives for fear of being overlooked or discouraged by male colleagues. At a dedicated office area for women such as Kontor Space, every employee can share ideas and be sure of a supportive female audience. This will help boost their confidence and encourage them to speak up in mixed-gender settings. It also benefits the business, as innovative new ideas can come from these women-only collaborative sessions.
Enhanced productivity with recreational facilities
Women-only spaces can be designed to include facilities that enhance women’s productivity and well-being. For instance, recreational zones where they can unwind. The cafeteria where they can network. Conferences room and events where women professionals can find mentors, build new relationships and friendships.
A dedicated office area for women is now becoming a norm at every traditional and corporate office and co-working spaces. With Kontor Space, a women-focussed co-working space, a dedicated office area helps create an environment of inclusion and support, which is otherwise not seen in male-dominated workplaces.
