Swindon-based insurance giant Zurich has seen a leap in women applying for senior roles after offering all jobs as flexible.
The company said a
rise in women applying for top jobs followed a drive to advertise every
possible role with flexible terms and gender-neutral language.
“Employers that
embrace the flexible working revolution post the Covid-19 pandemic could boost
applications from women for top jobs by as much as 20 per cent,” a study by
Zurich insurance suggests.
