Data Transparency (query from Macquarie)

As networks, what internal data do you get from other parts of your

you get? You said:

• About a third of respondents said they get no visibility to data at all
• Some get very high level data only, e.g. number of female employees by region, overall male/

female split and part :me/full :me, % of women by grade with YoY comparison

• Several respondents said their companies had only just started repor:ng on gender stats centrally

but this informa:on was not being shared with the network

• A very small number are gesng more detailed data regarding female recruitment, promo:ons,

talent, length of service
