NEW RESEARCH


1 in 3 employees have taken time off work for caring responsibilities in the past 12 months (childcare, elderlycare, or both).

HR's FREE playbook for retaining female talent in 2026 and beyond...

Brand new Mintago research reveals a ticking time bomb for UK employers. We surveyed 1,300 employees and discovered…

Women lack financial security

Employees have smaller safety nets in their 40s than their 20s. Life is more expensive.

Care is disrupting work

1 in 3 employees took time off last year to care for family

Strife begins at 40

Financial, care and health pressures peak for women aged 40–49

2 WALK AWAY

For every woman you promote at senior level, two more walk away.

(McKinsey, 2022)

This leaves women in mid-to-senior roles dangerously exposed – making them an expensive flight risk for employers.


“There’s no shame in wanting to do right by people in order to get a better business outcome.”

Alarm bells should be ringing.
