These organizations show how best to support female employees post-pandemic Sponsored by Deloitte
, which surveyed 5,000 women across 10 countries, shows that women’s responsibilities at work and at home have increased since the pandemic began.
“Women—especially women of color, LGBT+ women, sole parents and those with caregiving responsibilities—underwent significant additional work and home stresses during COVID-19, which most employers didn’t or couldn’t address,” says Michele Parmelee, Deloitte Global Deputy CEO and Chief People and Purpose Officer. “Many women unhappy with their current work situations are considering leaving their current employer for a more positive and supportive environment.
Unfortunately, these “gender equality leaders” make up a minority of organizations, representing just 4% of the total global sample surveyed in Deloitte’s report. Yet, organizations can realize myriad benefits from following the gender equality leaders’ example and building inclusive, high-trust cultures where women feel supported.
The survey also found that gender equality leaders are more than twice as likely as lagging organizations—31% of the global sample that have not demonstrated an inclusive culture—to offer formal mentoring programs for women , to provide development opportunities for women and to offer support with childcare, including emergency childcare support .
