CHENNAI, JAN. 16: Often, working women get stuck in senior roles in an organisation and find it difficult to move beyond or are forced to take a break from work due to family reasons. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) plans to launch a focused network for career women, addressing these issues.
The CII Indian Women Network aims to provide a platform for working women to discuss issues and opportunities and share best practices that will help create an inclusive work environment.
“The network wants to prepare career women for middle and senior-middle roles. Also, we want to provide guidelines for corporates to create a flexible work environment so that talented young women don’t have to take a break from work,” says Bhairavi Jani, Chairperson, Steering Committee, CII Indian Women Network, and Director, SCA Group.
According to a senior official of CII in Kochi, any working woman or final year degree student can take an annual membership: individual (Rs 3,500 plus tax), corporate (Rs 3,000 plus tax) and student membership (Rs 500 plus tax).
Ms Suchitra Ella, Chairwoman IWN Southern region and joint managing director of Bharath Biotech International Ltd, V. K. Mathews of IBS Software Services Pvt Ltd and Ms Aruna Sundararajan, KSIDC managing director, will attend the inaugural session.
A panel discussion on “21st Century – A New Paradigm for Career Women” will follow the session.
