Impact of HR Policies on Gender Inclusion in Indian Army: An Empirical Study

Abstract

Inclusion means to have a sense of belongingness, feel valued and respected for the person you are, and getting commitment and support to enable you to give your best. A gender-inclusive diverse workforce is progressively being accepted to contribute significantly towards improved performance of any organization. With this underlying concept, the article attempts to understand the linkages between HR policies and gender inclusion in Indian Army. This study is based on primary data collected from officers of the different branches of Indian Army and the extant literature review. Data has been assessed using confirmatory factor analysis and multivariate analysis of variance. Proposed empirical article will offer meaningful insight to the policy formulators and the policy executors for improving the existing policies and framing the new HR policies that will help achieve effective gender inclusion.
