Ep 208 - Transparency: What Women Want From Their Job Search, with guest Gemma Lloyd

Episode 208

WORK180 is taking the mystery out of your job search - because you deserve to know how equitable an organisation really is, before you apply for roles.

My guest today is Gemma Lloyd CEO and co-founder of WORK180, a specialised jobsite used by over 1.5m women globally to find roles that align with their core values. WORK180 champions workplace transparency and publishes data regarding pay gap, workplace benefits and leadership equity.

In this episode, Gemma:

  • Explains key findings from WORK180's annual What Women Want report as well as the three biggest priorities for women when deciding on a new employer 
  • Talks to the fact that WORK180 endorsed companies are able to build trust more effectively by being transparent and by actively increasing women's representation - she also outlines what else these companies are doing differently to attract female talent 

Gemma, on the transparency women want:

"There's been such a distrust built over the years where employers have put out these flashy branding materials around how they support people but not really walking the talk. On our platform, we rank over 7000 employers [on a number of measures such as] their paid-parental leave policy; their promotion rates of women; pay; and other policies and support so that women have that knowledge before they apply for a role."
