This new 37-page report presents findings from Deloitte’s Fifth Annual Survey on Women in the Workplace, based on feedback from approximately 7,500 women across 15 countries. It examines critical workplace and societal factors influencing women’s careers and is organized into four sections: health and well-being; household responsibilities and care; key retention factors; and personal safety and experiences of non-inclusive behaviors. While the full report offers many insights, several from the retention section stand out in particular. Around four in ten respondents expect to stay with their employer for one to two years, with an additional 4% currently looking for a new role and 2% expecting to leave their job within six months (voluntarily or involuntarily). When asked what their employers could do to support their success at work, the top three responses were: provide opportunities to advance (43%); offer flexible working for all employees, regardless of gender or caregiving responsibilities (37%); and ensure they are not regularly working beyond agreed hours (32%). There is a lot to review in this report, so I encourage you to read through it to benefit from all the insights and takeaways it provides, and the full context in which the results are presented.
