What we see online often plays a key role in breaking the mould of stereotypes. TV Shows have pushed forth in this domain, be it through the Chess masterpiece in the Queen’s Gambit or the Urdu dramedy in Chudails.
Trust is about confidence in others; psychological safety is about confidence in being yourself. Together, they shape open, resilient teams where people thrive.
Psychological safety is key for an essential workplace. According to Timothy R Clark's work, it is of four types: Inclusion, Learner, Contributer and Challenger safety.
- All
- People and culture
- Domestic violence
- Life at Serein
My fear stemmed from ignorance. Facing the unknown taught me empathy's power & the vital importance of seeking understanding over judgment. Growth starts here.
Diversity isn't solely gender. It's a vast spectrum: race, ability, neurodiversity, age, faith, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background & lived experience.
Women's workplace growth often involves navigating expectations with grace ("smiling") while pushing boundaries. Recognition & support fuel true advancement, not just pleasantries.
Women in Indian corporate face a triple barrier: unequal pay, denial of key opportunities, & entrenched stereotypes limiting perceived leadership potential. Systemic change needed.
LGBTQIA+ individuals globally endure prejudice, hatred & discrimination – denying safety, dignity & equal rights. Acceptance & legal protection are fundamental, not optional.
Can we dismantle the "default parent" expectation? Sharing caregiving equitably challenges rigid gender roles, benefiting families, careers & true equality at home & work.
Countries vary widely in legal protections, leaving gaps in enforcement and workplace inclusion.
India’s disability laws have progressed but implementation remains inconsistent, hindering accessibility. Here’s some of the work that’s already been done:
UK workplaces must better accommodate menopause as a disability, ensuring rights and adjustments. Here’s how:
Case shows AI tools like Workday’s may exclude disabled applicants, demanding stricter regulation.
Small workplace changes, like flexible hours, or more openness, can significantly improve inclusion for disabled staff.
Disabled workers face persistent pay disparities despite diversity policies, highlighting inclusion failures.
Silence around domestic violence hurts workplaces too. Recognise signs, offer safe support systems & flexible policies to help survivors heal & retain employment.
India’s Domestic Violence Act protects both parties in live-in relationships. Understanding this legal recognition is crucial for safety & seeking rightful recourse.
Cinema often sensationalises domestic violence. Responsible storytelling should highlight realities, survivor strength & pathways to support, not perpetuate myths.
Gaslighting is psychological abuse making victims doubt their reality. Recognise manipulation tactics, trust your instincts & seek support to break free from this.
Women have the right to protection orders, residence, monetary relief & legal aid under India’s Domestic Violence Act. Knowing these enables survivors to be safe.
Consent & boundaries are key. Domestic violence shatters both. Rebuilding starts with respecting autonomy & recognising coercive control as a violation of rights.
A break doesn’t break your career. With patience, purpose, and a little ‘me time,’ a restart can be a reinvention – on your terms, in your time, with confidence.
Career breaks don’t erase capability. With experience, adaptability, and the right support, women returning to work can lead fast, thrive faster and uplift teams too.
