In this white paper, we present a compelling case for dark stores, warehouses, and flexi-staffing companies to prioritize hiring more women in blue-collar roles, showing that it leads to measurable business benefits. These benefits include enhanced productivity and work culture, translating to significant cost savings and improvement in profit margin. While the benefits of gender diversity in white-collar roles in advanced economies have been well-documented, this white paper focuses specifically on blue-collar roles in a developing economy.
FSG's Growing Livelihood Opportunities for Women (GLOW) program analyzed data on more than 10,000 workers from two large warehousing companies, around 109,000 orders in two dark stores, and approximately 8,000 employees (~86% male and ~14% women) across 26 Indian states on a mid-sized flexi-staffing company’s payroll. The flexi-staffing data set comprises associates across 70+ companies served by the flexi-staffing company, mostly in sectors like manufacturing (automobiles, automobile ancillaries, precision machinery), logistics, and retail. Based on this analysis, we have quantified the business impact of having more women in companies’ entry-level workforce.
