IN my previous article “Dilemma of Working Mothers in Corporate Malaysia”, I encouraged working mothers to play a role in nudging and helping our employers to adopt policies and facilities to be a more family-friendly company. A few ladies have sent some encouraging notes to share their thoughts on this as well. Thank you.
I have personally put in some requests in my previous employments and had the opportunity to hear the heart of the employers concerning flexitime arrangement and company daycare among other issues. The good news is, most employers can empathise with working mothers but the transitioning into this new culture comes with a lot of financial, business and HR implications.
