MARCH 12 — As Ramadan arrives, Muslim working mothers face the challenge of juggling professional responsibilities, family obligations, and spiritual commitments. This discussion is particularly relevant as we celebrate International Women’s Day, honouring the contributions of women while advocating for greater work flexibility and inclusivity.
According to the 2023 Global Life-Work Balance Index, Malaysia ranks as the second worst country for work-life balance among the 60 nations with the highest gross domestic product. This alarming statistic underscores the pressing need for improved workplace policies that better support employees, particularly working mothers who juggle multiple responsibilities.
A hybrid approach—where flexible work schedules, remote work options, and strong support systems coexist—may offer the best solution. Employers who recognize the added demands of Ramadan and adjust expectations accordingly will see more engaged and productive employees. Recent research highlights that employer support plays a crucial role in ensuring emotional well-being for working mothers.
• Delegation and time management: Working mothers can share household duties and plan their day strategically to align with their energy levels.
