How does your workplace embrace equality?

At Crowne Plaza Chennai Adyar Park, we are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace that promotes equality and fairness. We have implemented policies and practices that ensure equal opportunities for all our employees, regardless of their gender, race, or ethnicity. Our hiring process is based on merit, and we provide equal pay for equal work. We also offer training and development opportunities to help our employees grow and succeed in their careers.

As a woman, how do you make sure that you embrace equality? When you are the decision-maker, how do you make sure you are not gender-biased?

As a woman, I believe it’s important to lead by example and promote gender equality in the workplace. I ensure that I am not gender-biased by being aware of my own biases and actively working to overcome them. I also make sure that I consider all perspectives and opinions when making decisions, regardless of the gender of the person presenting them. At Crowne Plaza Chennai Adyar Park, we encourage all our employees to participate in decision-making processes, and we value diversity of thought and ideas.

Do you believe that gender-inclusive policies are justified with an increasing number of women in the industry while still not being a 50% strength or close?

Absolutely. Gender-inclusive policies are essential for promoting diversity and inclusivity in the workplace, and they are justified regardless of the number of women in the industry. While the number of women in the industry is increasing, there is still a long way to go to achieve gender parity. Gender-inclusive policies help to create a level playing field for all employees, regardless of their gender, and they promote equal opportunities for everyone. At Crowne Plaza Chennai Adyar Park, we are committed to promoting gender equality, and we believe that gender-inclusive policies are a vital step in achieving this goal.
