🌟 Empowering Women in the Workplace 🌟 The latest findings from Deloitte's Women @ Work: A Global Outlook survey are in, shedding light on the challenges women continue to face in balancing their professional responsibilities with personal commitments. Despite strides in workplace flexibility, the survey reveals concerning trends: ◾ Stress levels are rising, impacting mental health. ◾ Many women feel unsupported by employers in achieving work-life balance. ◾ Household responsibilities disproportionately affect women's careers and mental well-being. As Emma Codd, Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Deloitte Global, emphasizes, change is imperative. Employers must enable environments where women feel supported and empowered. Key insights include: ◾ Mental health is a top concern, with half of respondents reporting increased stress. ◾ Women who bear the greatest household responsibilities struggle to disconnect from work. ◾ Workplace safety concerns persist, particularly for underrepresented groups. However, there's hope: companies recognized as Gender Equality Leaders showcase environments where women thrive, with higher levels of loyalty, productivity, and comfort in discussing mental health. To retain top talent and foster inclusivity, employers must prioritize flexibility, supportive cultures, and equitable policies. Let's work together to create workplaces where all women can succeed.

Deloitte's Women @ Work: A Global Outlook survey reveals ongoing challenges faced by women in the workplace, including rising stress levels and mental health concerns. 🔺 Mental health is a top three concern for women globally (48%), falling behind only their financial security (51%) and rights (50%). 🔺 Nearly all women (95%) believe that requesting or taking advantage of flexible work opportunities will negatively affect their chances of promotion and 93% don’t expect that their workload would be adjusted if they moved to a flexible working arrangement. Despite some improvements, the transition to hybrid work models has brought both positive experiences and challenges. The disproportionate burden of household responsibilities borne by women affects their mental health and professional growth. As companies reconsider return-to-office policies, flexibility and work-life balance emerge as crucial factors in retaining women employees. To drive progress towards gender equality, organizations must prioritize mental and physical health support and create inclusive environments where women can thrive personally and professionally. ❇ On a personal note, over the past 6 months, I've been vocal both on LinkedIn and offline about my journey dealing with postpartum mental health challenges. Drafting my first post, I was nervous; I knew it would change how people perceive me going forward. However, I found the courage to share my story thanks to my unapologetically bold nature and the supportive environment provided by my workplace and colleagues at Deloitte.

“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

Deloitte published their latest Women @ Work report, and the report is as bleak as the title suggests. “Despite a small number of improvements since last year, our 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. “Globally, women feel their rights are backsliding, they are experiencing increased stress and taking on the majority of household tasks at home. Alongside this they are experiencing non-inclusive behaviors at work, are concerned for their safety and feel unable to disclose when they are experiencing women’s health challenges. This is a situation that must change—and employers must enable this.” Read more from the report here: https://lnkd.in/eNvY4cFE

According to Deloitte’s Women @ Work: A Global Outlook report, 1 in 4 women globally do not want a senior leadership role, and they cite company culture as the reason. Fewer women report feeling supported by their employers in balancing work responsibilities with their commitments outside of work. They speak of the following specifics when discussing the factors that go into their decision to pursue leadership positions: ✨Stress and long working hours ✨Household responsibilities ✨Feeling unsafe in the workplace/non-inclusive behaviors ✨Working through pain related to menstruation, menopause or fertility Flexibility and work-life balance are essential for organizations looking to hire, retain, and promote women. When you get the culture right, the results are evident: in organizations known as “Gender Equality Leaders”, 92% of women express interest in pursuing senior leadership positions. https://lnkd.in/g4d_eXpJ

Deloitte’s Women @ Work report, which hears from 5000 women in workplaces across 10 countries, found that ONLY 37 percent of women felt able to switch off after work hours. While strategies such as a strict working schedule and silencing notifications can help safeguard our downtime – our brains don’t always abide by these boundaries. https://lnkd.in/ecJZRsG5 I am here to support the women in the workplace and business, because we know the support is needed.
