Have you ever heard an HR manager or recruiter ask questions like:
“When are you planning to get married?”
“Do you intend to have children soon?”
“How will you manage work with a toddler at home?”
“Will you stay committed if we increase your salary?”

If your answer is yes, you already know how common — and damaging — such questions can be. These outdated questions don’t evaluate a woman’s skills or potential; instead, they highlight the unconscious bias that still exists in many workplaces. And far too often, they leave women feeling judged, discouraged, and undervalued before their careers even begin.

While companies today have made progress in promoting women’s empowerment through equal pay, leadership roles, and inclusive opportunities, the reality is clear: we are still far from achieving true gender equality. The scales haven’t balanced yet — and women continue to shoulder more challenges, especially when it comes to managing work-life balance.

Yet, women continue to excel. They lead, they multitask, and they break barriers every single day. What they need is not scrutiny — but support.

So, this Women’s Day, let’s take a meaningful step toward breaking the bias that women silently face. Let’s commit to building workplaces where women feel seen, respected, and empowered to achieve everything they deserve.

As organizations, we can — and must — do better. We can create systems that uplift women, policies that protect them, and cultures that celebrate them.

Give female employees equal pay; don’t negotiate here.

It is the perfect time to stop judging and evaluating women for their commitment to their jobs and task performance. Female employees with equal work experience and performance have the right to equal compensation. 

Let gender not be a factor in determining their salary.

Be strict in your efforts to prevent sexual harassment. 

Sexual harassment is one such aspect that weakens a woman psychologically, physically, and emotionally. Many women have experienced sexual harassment at work, regardless of their profession or position in the organization.

Harassment of any type ruins employee morale and prevents them from returning to work. It has a significant influence on a company. And a company must stay rigid and take legal action in the event of any written, verbal, or visual harassment.

Do not forget that sexual harassment violates women’s rights. So companies must implement policies to stop it and make the workplace safer for women to work.

Promote and assign a new job role, and they will not let you down.

Companies and management underestimate female candidates when it comes to offering a demanding and new work responsibility. 

Women employees are looked down on and thought incompetent to handle leadership and board or management responsibilities. 

This disparity also casts a negative light on the company. 

However, we are ignorant that women can prove us wrong. As they can exceed our expectations in accomplishing their professional obligations if given the opportunity.

Enhance their quality of life, let them take leave.

Organizations are focusing on health, wellness, and work-life balance benefits. As a result, many companies have made appropriate changes to their leave policies.

Many employers provide one additional leave, recognized as wellness leave, every month to women employees. Even the government gives 6 months of paid maternity leave not to jeopardize women’s reproductive health and family care.

Companies can promote activities and advantages that improve women’s mental and physical health. It will assist them in attracting and retaining top female employees. As we can’t imagine how boring life would be if women didn’t contribute much-needed zest to workplaces.

We cannot dispute that women are often expected to shoulder more caregiving tasks than men. But we cannot allow them to abandon their jobs as a result. 

It’s time we acknowledge their worth and give them the credit and appreciation they deserve.

The way Kredily promotes no discrepancies in HR and payroll management, you too can make an effort to eliminate workplace inefficiencies for women employees. Make this women’s day happy, healthy, and progressive!
