Building Family-Friendly Workplaces in Asia with Shreyasi Jha from UNICEF
In this season closer, we take a closer look at how businesses in Asia could benefit from family-friendly policies starting with creating caring workplaces in Asia.
I speak to Shreyasi Jha, Senior Gender and Climate Advisor, UNICEF about the UNICEF perspective and her personal experiences growing up in India.
Our conversation explores practical steps SMEs in Asia can take, the cost-benefit math and the hopeful energy of Gen Z driving change.
Show Notes
[00:11:00] Shreyasi’s defiance and early questions about norms
[00:18:00] Breastfeeding challenges and the need for supportive spaces
[00:24:00] Bereavement leave and broader care policies
[00:27:00] Parental leave and flexible work as core policies
[00:32:00] How SMEs can access UNICEF support and consultants
[00:42:00] It starts from home and the care agenda
Key takeaways
Family-friendly policies are not an optional add-on. They are a practical, productivity-enhancing strategy that benefits individuals, teams, and organizations.
For SMEs, three priorities stand out: universal parental leave (inclusive of all parents), flexible work arrangements that respect caregiving duties, and reliable childcare support (including safe spaces and bereavement considerations).
Real change requires authentic leadership, thoughtful implementation, and a broader commitment to a caring workplace that serves employees, families, and communities.
