Undoubtedly, the pandemic has resulted in monumental changes to global working practices in the short span of two years. In that time, it has also introduced the concept of an employee’s market for recruitment and a fierce war for talent as employees – women especially – found more opportunities amidst the new and more flexible working conditions. Grant Thornton welcomes the seeming continuation of this trend as our research saw more than 70% of businesses are now working to create a more inclusive environment to attract and retain female talent.

“The pandemic has also revealed another side of women – resilience – which is now considered a core value that all businesses must embody.”
