What are you hearing from them?
3:01
So what we're seeing in the data, and we went then and talked to people about that, is that we're seeing that females are keen to move into leadership positions.
3:10
But again, some of the choices and the family situations that they might be in prevent them from doing that, or they feel like that would prevent them from doing that.
3:19
So we do know that they are underrepresented in leadership positions compared to their male counterparts.
3:26
But what we really interestingly saw is that when we looked deeper into the data, we saw that women's representation in leadership is consistent with their application rates.
3:37
So that was something that really challenged us because we hadn't been able to see that previously or hadn't looked that deeply before.
3:43
So what that means is... that women, when they apply for leadership roles, are getting those leadership roles.
