Women at Work Report 2024

The prestigious UK’s Best Workplaces™ employer recognition is only awarded to those organisations whose people have told us theirs is a genuinely great place to work for all its employees.

Parity in the workplace remains a work in progress. Accounting for around half of the UK’s workforce, women have continued to make strides in the working world – such as the improved representation we’ve seen across all levels within many organisations, as well as a narrowing national pay gap.

But women also continue to face unique challenges, including unconscious bias, lack of flexibility, and a scarcity of visible role models. It is crucial for organisations to address these issues head-on, fostering an environment where both men and women can truly excel.
