Women – The Liberal Party

To empower women, the party believes employers must provide flexible work hours to their employees (both men and women). In place of forcing them to complete a strict 8 hours every day, provide them the option to complete hours as per their flexibility.

Time crunch is the most common struggle of working women. With a pile of personal, professional and childcare work to do, time becomes the most precious asset of their life. Therefore, the party believes that when appropriate to do so Women (and Men) should be allowed to work from home as often as possible.

Rejoining the workplace after a long maternity break is no easy feat especially, when technology is changing trends constantly. Therefore, the party believes that employers should ensure to build a well-thought rejoining programme for the women who join back after a long maternity break. Doing this not only empower women but also makes their life after the maternity gap a lot easier to transition to the world of work.

Women are 3x more likely than men to think that their gender has played a role in their missing out on a raise, promotion, or other chance to get ahead. Moreover, the party believes that organisations should address these unconscious issues faced by women, providing a level playing field for both genders to progress in their careers.

Research suggests that both men and women are twice as likely to hire a male candidate over a female. Gender-bias patterns might unconsciously creep into your hiring plans before you even notice. This is why people view unconscious bias as the number one barrier to the career progress of a woman. Furthermore, the party believe that firms should audit there hiring patterns and observe if any of the job roles are unconsciously skewed towards hiring male candidates
