A key part of the conversation about how best to hire and retain women has centered on workplace flexibility. Women are often the ones to take a career break to have children, so if a company makes it easier for them to fit work around family, the thinking goes, mothers are more likely to stay.
But if business leaders think greater flexibility addresses the biggest problem with retaining young female employees, they’re wrong, according to a study based on a survey of around 300 people worldwide.
The research asked people aged 22-to-35 about the factors that prompt them to switch roles five-to-10 years out of university.
The main reason women leave their jobs? Salary. More women than men cited the answer, “I found a job elsewhere that pays more” as the top reason for switching roles. In all, 65% of women gave that as the main reason, versus 56% of men. Starting a family ranked fifth among the most-cited reasons for women leaving their jobs.
I wonder if this applies in Nigeria too?
