Key findings:
- Females felt a lack of gender diversity in senior leadership was a barrier to career progression
- A perception gap exists, where males do not see or identify the gender issues in the workplace.
- Women do not strategically enter the industry, it ‘just happens’
- Less than half of the respondents believe they will reach their desired level of seniority within the industry.
- 56% have indicated they have considered leaving their current role, with key reason for females being lack of pathway to promotion.
The survey indicates WGHA is important to the industry by:
- Being the Voice of the Industry on gender issues,
