Remote working has leveled the playing field & improved inclusion!

It has enabled individuals from various backgrounds and circumstances to participate more actively in the workforce. Here are three key ways in which remote working has had a positive impact:

1. Empowering Moms & primary caregivers to Re-enter the Workforce:
Remote working provides mothers with greater flexibility and work-life balance, allowing them to re-enter the workforce more easily. By eliminating the need for commuting and offering flexible hours, remote jobs enable mothers to balance their family responsibilities while pursuing their professional goals. This increased flexibility helps reduce the barriers that many moms face when considering re-entering the workforce, such as finding suitable childcare or managing a demanding office schedule. At Grow Asia we have mom’s who came back to the workforce after 10 years and discovered new meaning & purpose.. we are proud of them!

2. Facilitating Family Reunions:
Remote working has enabled workers to reunite with their families by removing the geographical constraints of traditional office-based jobs. In the past, individuals may have had to relocate or even live apart from their families for work opportunities. With remote work, families can remain together, regardless of where their jobs are located. This allows for improved work-life balance and the strengthening of family bonds. Some of our employee’s moved back from Mumbai to Pune, from Delhi to Mizoram to be with their families.. able to see their kids grow up and prosper everyday!

3. Promoting Inclusion for Differently Abled Individuals:
Remote working has created more opportunities for differently abled individuals to participate productively in the workforce. People with mobility challenges, visual impairments, or other disabilities often face significant barriers in traditional work environments. Remote work eliminates many physical accessibility challenges and enables individuals to work from the comfort of their homes or in environments specifically designed to accommodate their needs. This increased accessibility allows differently abled individuals to showcase their skills and contribute meaningfully to their professions.

However, overall, remote working has provided opportunities for many individuals to participate in the workforce more effectively, resulting in a more inclusive and diverse work environment.
