These tips were published by the HR Zone website.
Genuinely flexible working hours
The first step is offering an opportunity to balance work and family life through a genuinely flexible work schedule. This does not mean tolerating coming to work between 8.30 and 9.00. Essentially it refers to a progressive time frame of work so that male and female employees are not stressed out from balancing their family and work life.
Equal pay
The system of work should be set up so that women are not at a disadvantage due to their specific time-related and other needs. But they should also receive the same pay for the same work as their male colleagues. Only equal pay will sufficiently motivate them to give their best possible performance.
Fair career development system
The rules of career advancement and personal development should be set up in a clear, transparent and fair way, so that women have objectively equal opportunities to develop their careers within your company. Thus you will acquire a motivated workforce and not lose the potential of the talent of some of your female workers.
Safe and open workplace
Generally speaking, your workplace ought to be safe and open in the sense that no one should be afraid to talk about their problems, requirements or doubts. Women are generally more hesitant than men in sharing such objections or problems at the workplace, so you should set up such a system that women also will not hesitate if they want to share something with the employer.
