Employees’ perspective
moving job... by industry
A greater proportion of men would consider a move to Manufacturing and
Engineering, at 50% (only slightly down from 52% last year). We have seen an
increase in the number of women who regard it as a desirable industry, from
34% to 44%, perhaps reflecting broader trends which are seeing more women
entering Engineering professions. Professional and Business Services remains
the second highest performer, with 40% of men and 42% of women prepared
to consider it.

to move to by men
and women
all other industries were fairly evenly matched in terms of gender preferences,
with some such as banking, Finance and insurance, Hotels and catering, Marketing
advertising and Pr, and retail and Wholesale slightly more appealing to women.
We also found that men were more likely to be attracted to jobs in the Private
Sector and women to the Public Sector, perhaps related to the greater importance
women place on flexible working and work-life balance; a compelling reason for
Public Sector employers to make their talent attraction strategies more visible and
appealing in order to capitalise on this advantage over the Private Sector.
