Annual Index

The results from our 2023 Annual Index charting the progress towards gender equality in the workplace have been released Our global research seeks to understand the factors that have either impeded or accelerated this progress. In the five years since the research programme was launched much has changed in the world but sadly the progress towards gender equality still has a way to go.

Conducted in partnership with strategic insight agency Opinium, the research covered women working in PR across 35 countries divided equally between agency and ‘in house’ and 10% independents. The aim is to track and measure progress and to understand the factors that have either impeded or accelerated this progress. Despite women accounting for two-thirds of the workforce in PR and Communications there still remains a significant imbalance in when it comes to the boardroom.

In this year’s survey, a new section on harassment was introduced (in all its forms, not just sexual) to explore whether this was a concern for women. The results are disturbing. 53% of women of all levels reported facing harassment in their workplace, the most common forms being psychological, power and personal harassment.
