Our new report, Gender Equity Insights 2025: The power of balance, was launched during a national online event on Tuesday, 14 October 2025.

This new research shows that companies taking action for gender equality see lower staff turnover, more women in leadership and better shareholder value, finding:

  • Gender-balanced leadership can boost company value by close to $93 million
  • Women leave key industries faster than men, stalling progress for gender equality
  • Fewer than 1 in 3 organisations have a gender-balanced workforce

The report investigates what drives gender balance, revealing that higher resignation rates for women are a key factor shaping whether companies move towards, or away from, a gender-balanced workforce.

As a result, it will be harder for businesses that don’t address it to reach gender balance. But, companies that take proactive action – like setting goals for pay equity, doing a regular gender pay gap analysis, and making leadership roles more flexible – see fewer women leaving and more women moving into management.
