SBI aims to boost women in workforce to 30% by 2030
SBI, India's biggest bank, is aiming to raise the share of women in its workforce from 27% to 30% by 2030.
Right now, women already make up a third of frontline roles at SBI.
With over 2.4 lakh employees, this move is part of a bigger push for diversity across all levels.
What is SBI doing to support women employees?
The bank has rolled out things like creche allowances, support programs for families, and training to help women return after maternity leave.
Through its 'Empower Her' initiative, SBI offers mentorship and coaching to help more women step into leadership roles.
Health perks include cancer screenings and nutrition support during pregnancy—and there are over 340 all-women branches across India.
Aligning with national goals
SBI's efforts match up with India's national goal to get more women into the workforce.
Plus, helping more women join and lead in banking supports financial inclusion.
