GWPR Annual Index 2026 cover

GWPR Annual Index 2026

GWPR new symbolThe GWPR Annual Index is an invaluable and unique resource that tracks and measures the position of women working in the PR and Communications industry globally.

Working in partnership with strategic insight agency Opinium, the Index measures trends in flexible working, leadership representation, harassment, and DE&I priorities across the PR industry.

The Annual Index 2026 was conducted by Opinium Research. It captured the global voices of women across agency, in-house, freelance, and independent roles and reports on key issues including the impact of AI, the impact of women on DE&I being removed from many companies and under-representation of females at board level.
