NEW YORK (PRWEB) July 27, 2022
While several leading companies like Apple, Citigroup, Netflix and Salesforce are expanding healthcare benefits in response to the Roe v. Wade ruling, a new study conducted by Ladders finds that 75 percent of job seekers say health benefits at their current employer have not been and/or will not be altered following the decision. In fact, 73 percent say their company will not offer travel expense reimbursement for employees seeking abortion access, but live in states where the procedures are no longer legal. Additionally, 67 percent say their company will not offer paid time off to access abortion care.
Ladders, the career platform efficiently bringing together qualified professionals and hiring teams, surveyed more than 370 job seekers in the 100K+ job market to learn more about women in the workforce and the current efforts employers are taking to support employees following the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Key Findings Include:
- Workplace Gender Discrimination Remains: Of all job seekers, 28 percent say they have experienced gender discrimination in the workplace. However, 46 percent of women say they have experienced gender discrimination at work.
- Willing to Talk Wages: Although many women have experienced gender discrimination at work, the majority (65 percent) of women job seekers are comfortable discussing pay raises or wage disparities with their current/most recent employer.
- Lack of Career Growth & Leadership Opportunities for Women: The majority (59 percent) of women job seekers say there is not a career growth plan in their current role and when asked if skill-building opportunities or leadership training are available at their place of work, 39 percent of women say they are not.
- Managerial Support: While 67 percent of all job seekers say they receive the support they need from managers at their place of work, 41 percent of women job seekers say they do not receive the support they need from managers.
- Women Tasked with Non-Promotable Work: Unlike the majority (55 percent) of all job seekers, 54 percent of women have been tasked with doing “non-promotable work”, i.e. planning office parties, taking notes in meetings, helping others, etc. Of those women, 56 percent have not said no to the requests.
“As women across the country continue to face significant challenges, many companies have made an effort to create balance at work in a variety of ways – but a great deal remains to be done,” said Ladders CEO Dave Fisch. “At Ladders, we empower women to grow in their careers by offering expert resources and advice that support a continuing need for real talent and dedication across industries.”
