Abstract
Workforces in organisations across the world increasingly are having sizeable percentage of women employees. And this trend is steadily gathering momentum. This paper examines the extent of this phenomenon and its implications particularly with an emphasis on harnessing the true collective potential of female workforce. Relevant national and international statistics have been furnished in the paper and there is a discussion on instituting “enabling measures or mechanisms” for women employees in order to enhance their contributions commensurate with their true potential. Sensitivity on the part of all managers in general, and HR professionals in particular, to gender issues has been discussed.
