In the second year of the survey, conducting in association with Deloitte, the consulting firm, women surveyed continue to believe the bev/al industry lags in conditions for women in the industry.
Here are the key findings of the survey:
- Similar to the results of last year’s study, only one in 10 women working in the beverage alcohol industry believe there has been a significant positive change toward women overall in the last five years.
- Despite close to half of survey respondents indicating their company was somewhat successful in creating a better workplace through their DEI efforts, fewer than one in five women give their company top marks, suggesting room for improvement.
- A majority of survey respondents believe women and people with diverse backgrounds are underrepresented among their company’s leadership team, signaling a structural issue for the beverage alcohol sector to overcome.
- Only 57% of survey respondents think their company’s culture is very accepting of their family/personal commitments.
- Women surveyed believe the benefits associated with a diverse leadership team include better decision-making, enhanced creativity, greater organizational balance, and even improved financial performance.
