They came from a wide range of industry sectors and organizational size – from large global corporates to SMEs and start ups.<br /><br />The study also highlighted the fact that education has changed the attitude of women towards life and career.

Many organisations are now focusing on making their workplaces more facilitative with better, improved services which provide the employees with a healthy environment. Well-organised offices and catch the fancy of new age modern female professionals.<br /><br />As women enter the labor market in unprecedented numbers, they are demanding a new deal, driven by:<br /><br />Economic necessity: in the wake of the recent economic turmoil, society as a whole is under intense financial pressure<br /><br />Far easier access to work: over the next two to three years, 97 per cent of all jobs will involve the Internet in some form<br /><br />Expectations of a highly educated talent pool: in three years, 70 per cent of graduates leaving university will be women eager for a career<br /><br />Smarter talent: women are leaving university five to six points higher in academic achievement than their male counterparts. </div>
