Women are entering management at similar rates to men, but higher resignation rates point to barriers to staying.
Women are advancing into management at rates close to men’s, but they leave those roles more often. A decade of higher resignation rates raises questions about caring responsibilities, flexibility and career progression. Christine Castley, chief executive of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, discusses the report’s findings and what employers can do to retain women leaders with Tom Kennedy. Mark Gardner of MPC Markets joins SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves to unpack a flat ASX session, a tech sell-off following claims of Chinese chip advances, and the RBA’s latest minutes.
