Indian Company Britannia Set To Raise Its Women Workforce To 50 % By 2024
FMCG major Britannia Industries is aiming to increase its women workforce to 50 per cent from the present 41 per cent by 2024, a senior company official said on Sunday. The company has about 1,400 workers in its Madurai unit of which 65 per cent comprise women, Gupta said. When asked about the reason behind pushing for more women employees, Gupta said: "They are more hygienic, and more suitable for these types of jobs, which is an important requirement in food-making facilities and disciplined compared to male workers." Diversity is an important pillar of Britannia's sustainability framework to become a responsible global food company, Regional Manufacturing Head, South, C S Guruprasad said. He added that women are confident to continue in the unit since the majority of them belong to the agricultural background and also supported their families during the worst period of the Covid pandemic when their husbands or parents were out of jobs.
