[Special Edition] Business Women Australia National Survey tapping into the collective voice of female business leaders

Topic: Business Women Australia National Survey tapping into the collective voice of female business leaders Joining me today is Lyn Hawkins – one of the Directors of Business Women Australia and Kristen Turnbull – Director of CoreData Group to discuss the findings of the inaugural Business Women Australia National Survey, which was a collaboration between BWA and CoreData Group. The online survey was conducted between 10th and 31 July 2017 and was able to tap into the collective voice of female business leaders – in fact 551 business women across all sectors, states and professions including business owners, executives, senior managers and women on boards. On today’s show, Lyn and Kristen share: * Why they undertook this research; * The key opportunities this financial year holds for female leaders; * What key challenges female leaders are facing; * How important is flexibility in the workplace to increase female participation; * How women working part-time are feeling about their role; * What support networks women in leadership are leveraging; * Whether or not female leaders are optimistic about the future; * What we can do to better support female leaders; * Whose responsibility it is to address the gender equality gap.
