Why is TCS losing more female employees?

The news of a mass resignation of women from TCS, India's largest female employer, was recently shared on Twitter by user @Nehanagarr, and it has since gone viral online. Serious questions have been raised about the causes of this exodus and its potential effects on gender equality in the workplace.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, TCS has decided to end its work-from-home policy after three years. Although this choice may make business sense, it makes women awkward. Working from home has successfully enabled many women to juggle their personal and professional lives.

Women, who typically handle the bulk of housework and child care, will likely have the most difficulty adapting to the new work environment. They feel like they have to choose between their careers and personal lives because the shift back to an office-based setting makes it harder for them to juggle work and family commitments.

TCS should listen to the issues that its female workers have and do something about it. The company can keep its valuable female talent and a diverse workforce by implementing alternative solutions such as flexible working hours, remote work options, or on-site childcare facilities.

In addition, the broader issues of gender equality in the workplace are called into question by this mass resignation. Though things have improved for women in the workplace, they still face numerous obstacles and biases that prevent them from moving up the corporate ladder. TCS should use this as an opportunity to reconsider its policies and adopt some pro-active steps toward fostering a more welcoming environment for women.

In conclusion, the mass resignation of women from TCS demonstrates the importance of prioritizing the health and happiness of all employees, but particularly women, in the workplace. Companies can attract and keep the best employees by creating a culture that values diversity of all kinds, including gender. TCS and other businesses can take this as an opportunity to reflect on how they can better support the specific needs of their female employees.
