“Despite a small number of improvements since last year, our [Deloitte Women @ Work 2024: A Global Outlook] survey tells us that women are facing mounting pressures in the workplace, their personal lives, and in their communities,” says Emma Codd, Global Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, Deloitte. Key findings from this report listed below and described in this article https://lnkd.in/gURJK7TQ Half of women say their stress levels have increased since last year, and despite some progress, they are still not receiving adequate mental health support in the workplace Women’s disproportionate share of domestic responsibilities, including a sharp rise in those caring for another adult, is taking a toll on their careers and mental health Nearly half of women are concerned about their personal safety at work or while traveling to or for work Many women who experience challenges related to menstrual disorders, fertility, and even more so for menopause, feel unable to seek support or take time off from work Experiences with hybrid work are improving, but some women say they have made adjustments to their work and personal lives following return-to-office policies “It is widely understood that more diverse organizations perform better, yet most organizations in our study are not making visible progress on their commitments to gender equality,” says Elizabeth Faber, Global Chief People & Purpose Officer, Deloitte. “To create inclusive cultures that enable women’s success at work, organizations should focus on addressing workplace factors that drive stress, reduce stigma and create a culture where women feel able to disclose challenges with their mental and physical health, support efforts to balance work responsibilities with commitments outside of work, and enact policies that empower women’s career progression.” https://lnkd.in/gURJK7TQ
