Deloitte Women @ Work 2024: A Global Outlook

The Gender Equality Leaders are getting it right, but there
aren’t enough of them

As with previous years, Deloitte’s research has identified a group of “Gender Equality Leaders”, organizations that, according to the women surveyed, have
created genuinely inclusive cultures that support their careers, work/life
balance, and foster inclusion. Only 6% of the women in our survey work for one
of these organizations.

These women feel safer, are more comfortable talking about their mental health at
work and are more comfortable that they can work flexibly without it damaging
their career. They also report higher levels of loyalty, productivity, and motivation.

Women working for Gender Equality Leaders are also:

• More optimistic about their career prospects and twice as likely to
  recommend their organization to other women
• Less likely to have experienced non-inclusive behaviors, experience lower
  stress levels and are less likely to have taken time off for mental health challenges.
• Significantly more likely to plan to stay with their employer for longer and
  to see it as somewhere they want to progress
