On Women’s Day, SurveySparrow Announces ₹50,000 Joining Bonus for Women Employees

KOCHI:
SurveySparrow, a rapidly growing experience solutions firm, has announced an exciting hiring initiative exclusive for women in technology. As part of their women’s day celebrations, the young company has announced a joining bonus of ₹50,000 to the women candidates who apply for positions of Product Developers, QA, & technical writers on or before the 15th of March & joins the firm by the 15th of April 2021.

According to the studies done by the Centre for Science & Environment, a Delhi based non-profit organization, only 16% of employed women were able to keep their jobs coming out of the lockdown.

“With reports claiming the female labour force participation rate (LFPR) has hit its lowest since Independence, It’s imperative that we all do some swift changes to remedy that. SurveySparrow, from the beginning, has always tried to bridge the gender gap. We hope with this initiative, we will make it to at least 50:50 ratio, from the current 30:70 Female:Male ratio we are at”, commented Shihab Muhammed, Founder & CEO, SurveySparrow.

The young, Kerala-based startup had been in the limelight last year for its employee-friendly initiatives rolled out during COVID and lockdown. From equipping the employees to work comfortably from home by giving free furniture & paid internet bills to announcing up to a 30% hike, SurveySparrow went the extra length to keep up employee productivity.

The Joining bonus announcement comes on the heels of the launch of their first virtual hackathon, HackerFlow, an initiative to bring together developers, students & coding enthusiasts. The best all-women team gets a special prize, while the overall winner takes home ₹1,00,000. Registration is absolutely free. For more details, check https://hackerflow.io/

The company is planning to double its workforce for the year & expand the growth, significantly.
