Abstract

This health crisis caused unimaginable impacts and changes to the labor force and organizations pushing many policies and laws in the edge such as the Philippines’ magna carta of women. Inequalities at work, dimming employee benefits, and relentless working hours for women in the workplace are happening in third-world countries. This research project examines the awareness and compliance of companies and organizations in the lens of the health workers, teachers, and minimum-wage earners relative to the magna carta of women in the workplace. This study extracts corroborative proof from 202 women respondents coming from public and private organizations or companies through the magna carta of women-based survey on awareness and organizational compliance according to the workforce. The findings reveal that there should be more emphasis on women in the lowest income bracket and women who did not finish college. Furthermore, there is an opportunity for concerned organizations to educate the employees that not implementing these rights are forms of neglect of duty on the part of the employer. The results of the study unearth important information on what are the prevalent compliance mishaps of the organizations and how it can place working women in peril.
