Ep 186 - 5 Reasons Organisations Lose Talented Women Mid-Career

Episode 186

Does your organisation struggle to retain high-potential female talent without knowing why? 

Today I am looking at 5 key reasons organisations struggle to retain key female talent mid-career. We are discussing:

  • Culture, inclusion and belonging
  • Transparency  - this is a biggie!
  • Active sponsorship
  • Leadership development

Let's be really honest about the barriers women are facing on a day-to-day basis and start taking measurable action towards creating more enriching careers for women.


Something I said today:

"Women must be made aware when internal roles are opening up for application. Too often they are not made equally aware of potential opportunities and so can't apply. This has a compound impact: not only do they not even have the opportunity to present themselves as a potential candidate, their exclusion can lead to them doubting the support they have in the organisation which can then also diminish their confidence and sense of belonging further." (Rebecca Allen, Host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
