 MOTHERHOOD AND PREGNANCY.
• There are many organizations which hesitate to hire a newly married
woman on the basis that she might soon become pregnant and go
for a maternity leave.

• There are many women who are scared of starting a family knowing
that if they do, they might jeopardize their career.

• The HR can ensure the woman that they will get the same position
when they return from their maternity leave and once the woman
has returned, they can keep a training program in which they update
them about any changes made in the workplace.

 CONCLUSION

• A person spends majority of their time in a workplace and they

should feel welcomed in the workplace environment.
• Woman should not have to face any discrimination based on their
gender.
• HR plays a huge role in satisfying employees as any workplace
problem goes through them.
• HR should make the woman as well as the men feel welcomed so
that they can share any issue they are facing in the work place
environment and make them feel equal.
