Anew report commissioned by PwC has shown that many women don’t trust what their employers are telling them about career development and promotion; or what helps or hurts their career. It however stated that they are confident, ambitious and ready for what’s next.

The report titled: Time to Talk: What has to Change for Women at Work was released to mark the International Women’s Day (IWD) slated for tady.  PwC surveyed over 3,600 professional women (aged 28-40) to find out about their career development experiences and aspirations. The survey included respondents from employers across 27 industry sectors and from over 60 countries worldwide.

Although CEOs recognise the importance of being transparent about their diversity and inclusion programmes to build trust, the message isn’t universal and strong enough. 45 per cent of women believe an employee’s diversity status (gender, ethnicity, age, sexual preference) can be a barrier to career progression in their organisation, and only 51 per cent of women agree that employers are doing enough to progress gender diversity.
