How crèches in IBM, Ernst & Young, HUL and others are helping women put career on par with family

Leena Nair, executive director (HR) at Hindustan Unilever, says while there is no dearth of talented women at the entry-level or even the five-year mark, companies face a challenge in appointing women to the top teams, from among those who've worked for 14-15 years. "At this stage, there are just not enough women as they've fallen off the workforce," says Nair...This is where we need to provide help, to both women and men, many of whom have working wives." Adds Rohit Thakur, HR head at Microsoft: "Companies can pre-empt the element of their female talent not joining back by simply offering facilities like daycare."
