A major portion of women employees was concerned about a standard assessment, chauvinistic to the core, of their male colleagues about their hamstrung performance during pregnancy. Some pragmatic suggestions are proposed to encourage the women professionals‘ chances to continue in the industry after marriage and child birth.
