The objective of the guideline is to provide a framework that will help the Regional / Zonal Teams to determine their course of action while opening All-Women Branches across the regions, while maintaining uniformity in terms of branch infrastructure, hiring and providing safe working environment for all women employees in the field. • Child Care Leaves: These leaves are granted for the specific purpose of taking care of a minor child for rearing or looking after other needs of the child. • Building the Culture of Equality through Communication: Communication plays a pivotal role in driving the Diversity & Inclusion strategy for Arohan.
