Project 28-40 – A groundbreaking study of women’s experiences in the workplace.

Opportunity Now has launched an exciting new project to gather the stories of women’s experiences in work, with a particular focus on women aged 28-40 (but including women of all ages).

We have already received over 14,000 responses and are aiming to hear from up to 100,000 people – a survey of unprecedented scale, this is the first of its kind. Project 28-40 is about listening to what women have to say and taking action to change the status quo.

We want women to help us answer some big questions:

  • What is important to women, what are their ambitions and how do they make choices in life?
  • How effective is the current level of support and career development opportunities for women in work?
  • What impact does workplace culture have on your career – what is the atmosphere like in today’s workplace?
  • Can you really identify with role models in the workplace?
  • What influences some women to leave their employer or leave the workforce altogether?

The survey is open until Sunday 15 December 2013. We want this to be the largest survey of its kind – to do this we need thousands of women to tell us their story.
