Women around the world are not making much progress up the corporate ladder
but instead; many are frustrated and choosing to leave their jobs. The purpose of
this study was to identify what challenges are facing senior level women in the
corporate world, which would make them leave/desire to leave work and the role
played by organisations in this situation.
Interviews and survey research were done on a sample of qualified, experienced
women over the age of 30, who are either in the corporate world or who have left.
The study showed that women are leaving or have a strong desire to leave due
to a combination of workplace and personal factors, and that South African
organisations are not doing much to retain them. The implication of this is that
they are going to continue losing high calibre women, if they do not implement
effective retention strategies very quickly.
