As companies increasingly seek to bring staff back into the office, how important is flexible working to you? What are the most important diversity and inclusion initiatives that you or your company are involved with, and do you think there should be a quota for ethnic diversity on Boards? What are the roadblocks to career progression and how can age affect inclusion?

These are just some of the questions we ask in this year’s Global Equity Study, proudly sponsored by Standard Chartered, now open and ready and waiting for your support and participation. All you need to do is complete the survey. All responses will remain anonymous and both full-time and part-time employees may participate. We welcome responses from professionals of all genders and career levels and the survey will be open until mid-July.

“As advocates of gender equity, we are pleased to continue supporting this study which is offering valuable insights on the developments and progress our industry is making in this space,” says Michael Spiegel, Global Head of Transaction Banking at Standard Chartered.

We use your responses to evaluate and track progress on the most pressing issues and your insights feed into our Women in Treasury & Finance initiative that seeks to challenge the status quo and create meaningful change across the industry.

This years’ study will build upon our previous research and move the debate forward with questions offering a deeper exploration into key areas such as mentoring, career journeys and how women in the workplace are navigating the menopause. We want to unearth trends around barriers to inclusion and the importance of self-advocacy for effecting change in the workplace as well as explore how individuals are taking proactive measures to improve their working lives.

Above all, Treasury Today Group is seeking to harness the power of communication to continue to drive meaningful and lasting change in the workplace and we encourage you to share your insights to help shape the future of a more diverse, inclusive and equitable industry.
