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.
