The study, thanks to the exceptional support of Standing Conference of Public
Enterprise (SCOPE), drew the attention and involvement of Central Public Sector
Enterprises (CPSEs) in various sectors. Top decision makers in the CPSEs, namely
the Chairman cum Managing Directors, the Heads of Human Resources, Women in
Senior Management and other Stakeholders willingly gave time in sharing their views
and insights, thus effectively guiding the study in its understanding of the COVID-19
induced work from home arrangements in PSEs in India.
The study, extends its appreciation to the SCOPE Taskforce i.e. the network of
champions (12 PSE executives trained and certified by ILO), for their enthusiastic
participation throughout the duration of the study. They facilitated developing the
Guidelines for a Gender Sensitive Work from Home (WfH) Policy in PSEs, a key
outcome of the study.
