Apart from offering 6 months paid maternity leave, companies should give them additional 3-month leave system which can be encashed upon if required. Secondly, let them work from the comfort of their home until they are ready to be back in office. Even when they are back to work, make sure women have flexible working hours so that they can balance both home and work in an optimal manner. I encourage organizations to intentionally look at hiring competent women workforce who have taken work breaks to support and empower women.
