“Responding to the wants and needs shared by the women and marginalized groups in this report isn’t just about hiring. It’s also about companies retaining and nurturing the diverse array of minds and perspectives they already have, which — as we enter another year of unknown economic challenges — will be more important than ever.”

Creating the survey and referencing the report

The WORK180 What Women Want Report 2023 compiles the findings of an anonymous survey, which was circulated within our key regions of the US, UK, and Australia. While the majority of respondents do identify as women, our survey was open to anyone who wished to share their voice.
