Abstract Health Care Industry is growing at a very high stride because of its best service and increasing expenditure by both public and private participation. Now a day's people in general are health conscious and this has created perception in providing best service to the customers. In this regard, Nurses and Doctors play a crucial role in health care industry. The increasing length of maternity leave benefits and flexible work arrangements results in extended absence of female employees from the workplace. Women take on the main household tasks of home and child care, while men maintain and develop their careers. As a result, a clear absence of women exists at senior executive position in organizations both in India and internationally.
