Mumbai: Tata Steel targets to have 20 per cent women in its workforce by 2020 as gender diversity ensures availability of different mindsets to deal with challenges, a top company executive said.
"Gender diversity is essential, and not having it can be detrimental to business. A diverse workforce ensures that we have different mindsets dealing with challenges in different ways, and this helps us strategise better," Tata Steel Chief Diversity Officer and Chief Group HR Atrayee S Sanyal said here. She said Tata Steel has a target to have 20 per cent women in its workforce by 2020, from the current level of 11 per cent.
"We are definitely planning to employ a large number of women in the coming years. Tata Steel, as an equal opportunity employer, believes that women can perform any role with equal competence as that of a man. We have not restricted ourselves to defining certain roles or levels where we will employ women." she said.
