A slew of measures designed to help women manage work and family, such as extended maternity leave and paternity leave, work-from-home facilities and schemes to bring them back to work after a hiatus are contributing to women entering and staying in the workplace.

JWT has SheHour, a networking platform for women to meet and mentor each other. Infosys has set up a Global Diversity Council to equip women with insights and opportunities on the path to leadership and has had the Infosys Women Inclusivity Network since 2003 to address women employees' professional needs.
