There are several companies, both new and old in the industry, that are introducing new ways for helping young mothers in their workforces. While some are allowing women employees to take their children up to five years of age and spouse or caretaker along for business or training meetings, some are contracting with preschools for the kids of their women employees so that they get discounts while putting their kids in the school.This has happened because of the usual tendency of women employees to drop out after deliveries, impacting both business and their own
career graphs.
"India Inc is taking a three-fold approach to maternity benefits: realise, solutionise and sensitise," Mansee Singhal, principal talent at HR consulting firm Mercer India told ET. "Progressive benefits really make a company stand out as an employer of choice. Going beyond statutory policies to provide employees great pre-and post-natal flexibility as well as childcare benefits will help them retain talent."
To ensure that, several companies and start-ups are offering women employees a whole lot of benefits who are on their way to become mothers.

Similarly, Urban Ladder's new workplace includes a nursing room for new mothers, which also serves as a resting room for those who are expecting. Hopscotch, on the other hand, offers in-house crèche facility, a nap room for expecting mothers and a room to change diapers of their little ones.
Well, looks like no one wants to stay behind in being the company that cares for its employees like family members, while also ensuring that women going on sabbaticals don’t impact the health of their businesses.
