Dear Sir,
Women HR leaders,
The writing on the wall is clear, and all should read it. Women in business, and specifically in the HR domain, are growing with speed. It is also generally said that HR is meant for HER. Women have made their place in this domain purely on merits and inherent qualities they have. They have outgrown in numbers.
But when it comes to climbing the ladder and reaching the top, figures start dwindling. You find fewer women at the top in the HR domain compared to men. It has been argued from both sides. When it is said that women can't have it all, it is also said that women are holding themselves back. But without going into the depth of these arguments, let us have a flash of positivity in this dimension. The innate sense a woman has does not allow her to compromise on her basic role as the primary caregiver to children and family. Her sense of satisfaction comes when she successfully creates a balance between family and career. This power and quality lie inherently in women only and not in men. So, the point is not that there has to be a choice for women between family and career but it should move from this to how women should be encouraged to aspire to lead.
There may be many other reasons for women not reaching the top in the HR domain in organizations, but it is certain and visible that organizations have to change their mindset in this regard and provide a constructive and encouraging environment where she can find opportunities to grow further. The reality has to be understood. Organizations should come forward to provide the required support and enabling mechanisms to help women transition through years when they need time to build and nurture their families.
The rising trend of women venturing out where they control their own time with greater autonomy and have all to decide priorities between family and business needs also says a lot, which should be understood in the right perspective.
Challenges are there for women as well. While getting leadership roles, they also need to clear the clutter for the coming generation of women and not allow them to pass through the same hurdles that seniors might have encountered in their earlier times. There should be no more struggles in adjusting life and career goals. Awareness has increased. Many organizations have come out with innovative HR policies that help women strike a fine balance between the two. Much more needs to be done.
Our anniversary issue is about celebrating the growth and success of women in HR. The women HR leaders who have occupied the cover page this year have done a lot in life and career, and each one has an inspiring story for all of us to learn from.
If you like it, let us know. If not, well, let us know that too.
Happy Reading!
