Mumbai Firms Looking For Mothers: Survey
A mother working on a laptop with her child in the familiar confines of her home could be a trend for the 21century as local companies bouncing back from the economic slowdown look for affordable part-time workers. Mothers looking to rejoin the workforce have much to look forward to in Mumbai, with 44 major companies in the city responding encouragingly to a global survey on hiring them for part-time jobs. Up to 62% of Mumbai's companies said that, over the next two years, they were searching for mothers who had taken time off for a baby but now wanted to return to work. The Mumbai response was higher than those from Delhi (50%) and Bangalore (58%). It was also higher than the national average (56%) and global average (36%). Up to 86% of the Mumbai firms also said they believed in offering flexible working environment to these women as they were more family friendly.
