He shares research data on how a truly inclusive space improves innovation and profitable growth, on how there is no possibility of growth if 50% of workforce(i.e. women) are excluded.   Mohinish talks about a range of topics, on how it is important not just to focus on women in leadership or have better maternity benefits or policies. He delves into the example of the need to change from valuing long hours/valuing people based on how flexible they are, the importance of such cultural shifts coming from top down.   And then, he goes on to share valuable recommendations for women.   Please write to me at krishna@thenewindianwoman.com or reach out to our social media pages to share your views on this episode.   If you liked this episode, please help this reach more people by sharing this podcast with friends and family over Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest.

Yes, The Times They Are A-Changin' for Women@Work - Part 2 - Episode 48

A Global survey finds that 51% of women are less optimistic about their career prospects than before the pandemic. Plus nearly 57% of the 500 women surveyed in India do not feel their career is progressing as fast as they’d like. This and more, is from a survey conducted by Deloitte India. Their report says  employers can support women and create more high-trust, inclusive cultures during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. We meet with Mohinish Sinha,  a Partner and Leader – Diversity and Inclusion at Deloitte India to understand more about this survey and why such a survey is important. More importantly, we try to understand what organizations can do to facilitate equal work experiences for women in this 2 part series.   Despite the survey results, he believes this is a very interesting time for women as there will be lot of options around flex.   In episode 37, we had looked at what women want from HR under SheAsksHR - now, let us hear from HR on what they have to say.   This episode is special for a very different reason as well.

He talks about how performance systems are aligned to credit longer hours and the unconscious bias that exists about the same and how leaders play a very important rule in influencing this bias.   He talks about how the need to be available and connected 24*7 has put additional strain on men as well, but how this has a more dangerous impact for women.   We then move on to recent options around work from near home(WFNH) and the viability of the same.  He explains how the pandemic has made organizations realize how remote work can also be effective and how this calls for differentiated views to jobs. He explains how WFNH has also meant options around working from native places or villages and small towns rather than having to live in confined spaces in cities.     Please write to me at krishna@thenewindianwoman.com or reach out to our social media pages to share your views on this episode.   If you liked this episode, please help this reach more people by sharing this podcast with friends and family over Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest.

Today's episode falls in the second category.   And in the process, my aim is to help  you, The New Indian woman, to realize your potential, chase your dreams and aspirations, utilize the wonderful opportunities available in today's world.   What's in this episode:   Dr. Lalitha  shares it is quite natural for us to face ups and downs, but the conviction of doing right is what keeps us going. She refers to getting satisfaction out of doing right catering to the needs of others, as selfishness!   She talks about the challenges of raising children without being dependent on  the larger family's support, the courage it takes to not send to school and to allow education from the larger community. She surprises us by happily sharing how she and her husband played only a small part in their children's education.   Then she talks about the financial aspects, how they were fortunate to be in a position where they just had to focus on themselves and not the larger family. At the same time she once again surprises us by sharing how they choose to use the fellowship they received to give salaries to staff. We see the positiveness in her attitude when she says there is lot of goodwill circulating - this comes from having done many projects without any finances at the start, but having surplus towards the end.   In the context of finances she shares the importance of learning to live within one's resources, focus on basic needs and how they chose not to worry about children's education, but to trust things will happen as what they were doing was right.   She talks about the need to constantly evolve, adapt, learn and how that helped her to focus on running a hospital, community health, farming, craft, business. She shares the importance of understanding what is the need and responding to the need, with focus on training oneself, to be equipped with the relevant knowledge and skills.   Once again she surprises us by her conscious choice to lead a simple life and to nurture humility - she shares the influence her father had on this decision.   She shares how she handles her bad days - yes, there is a valuable tip here, for all of us.   She then shares her current dreams and also ends the conversations with 2 strong messages for all of us, for us to implement in our life.   I enjoyed recording this episode and learnt so many valuable lessons from this one discussion.

Life lessons and parenting tips from Dr Lalitha Regi - Part 2 - Episode 43

How often do you get to meet a doctor who chose to be a physician for people with limited or no access to medical facilities ? And who feels, this was the most obvious choice for her right from her teens! Though ensuring medical facility is what brought her to this remote village, she chose to dream so much more and continues to do so. And in the process, she has touched the health and lives of hundreds of people across many villages. And if she is not featured in New Indian Woman, who else can be ?     In this episode,  we chat with Dr. Lalitha Regi from Sittilingi. We start from her current engagement with Porgai craft centre, yes, craft centre led by a medical doctor. And then we move to the past and Dr. Lalitha shares her challenging but wonderful journey over the last almost 3 decades. Her thoughts, what led her to make such daring choices. She shares what  is the toughest aspect of pursuing a dream and why only some people manage to do that..   This is Part 1 of a 2 part conversation with this amazing lady.

If you think being a senior Dr in a hospital in a remote village itself can be demanding, then listen to her introduction of her primary roles!   Then she starts introducing Porgai to us and shared about how she has gone about reviving an ancient type of embroidery. And this is not about it being an area of interest. Dr. Lalitha, thru this intervention of revival, has focussed on helping women artisans earn from their home and have a healthy and more dignified life. And, please don’t forget to check out the beautiful hand embroidered items you can buy - the website shows just a sample though!   She talks about how she and her husband chose this village(you will be surprised by the criteria), set up a 1 room mud and thatch clinic that has now grown into a 35 bedded secondary hospital with 95% staff from the tribal community itself.   If achieving this itself is great, wait…. She then talks about their decision  to explore after the first 10 years and how they did it. And what this resulted in - again, something touching the lives of hundreds of people differently. Yes, organic farming.   We then move on to looking at this journey from a personal context in terms of what led her to these decisions, what kind of challenges they faced and especially, she, as a woman..   But then, did she feel tempted to come back to the "regular medical profession" ??   In the process of listening to her life, there are valuable insights for each one of us. We are bound to reflect on what it means to look at challenges from this perspective, what it means to live in response to needs of people around us.   Yes, this is just Part 1..stay tuned for Part 2.     I would love to hear feedback from you on this episode.

Title : Tips to relive good memories - Episode 41

The pandemic has made devices easily accessible, even a necessity, amongst children across all age groups. We did not have enough time to prepare for this, fully understanding the pros and cons of it. Before March 2020, discussions around device usage happened with the context that device usage is optional, for children.  That is no longer the case. Do we have time to discuss, debate and figure out what steps we need to take when the children already have access ? Or, is it OK to not bother about it ?   In this episode, we have Aruna Sankaranarayanan, an author and psychologist who has done a lot of research in this area.  Her first book, Zero Limits: Things Every 20 Something Should Know, which will be published by Rupa Publications, includes a chapter on the responsible use of digital technology.   We explore questions around device usage across various age groups. If you do an Internet search, you are likely to come across suggestions for device usage amongst young children. What about older children ? What is relevant and practical in today's scenario ?  If you are looking for best practice  recommendations, do not miss this episode.    Listen on ..   What the New Indian Woman podcast is about As you may already be aware, this podcast has 2 focus areas.

Today's episode falls in the first category.   And in the process, my aim is to help  you, The New Indian woman, to realize your potential, chase your dreams and aspirations, utilize the wonderful opportunities available in today's world.   What's in this episode:   We start by defining what device usage means and whether we should be concerned about children's device usage.   Some of the questions she responds to and pointers she shares are : The maximum permissible daily limits of device usage for different age groups It is not enough to look at this in terms of minutes/hours, but how it is spent These limits are based on what kind of impact Whether usage with headphones or earphones are OK How to handle the issue of privacy when it comes to usage by teens Importance of looking at child's overall development and is a mother best placed to assess this How to talk to older children about appropriate usage and Things parents should never do How to handle the scenario of cyberbullying and accessing inappropriate content Is it possible and OK to put barriers ? How to realize if the child has become addicted to devices ? Importance of arriving at rules, together with children and the need for parents to also adhere to these rules How to handle violation of device usage related rules How parents can influence good device behaviour We then examine how parents can use the device itself  to engage with the child and what could be the golden rule here..   Aruna then talks about how her upcoming book will help the young adults.   There are tons of valuable and actionable steps for you, the New Indian Woman, from this episode.
