Women in the Workforce: A Skillsoft® survey report

This 2015 survey includes feedback from 486 women in North America (79%), Europe/Middle East/Africa
(15%) and Asia/Pacific (6%). The results both reflect and support recent research surrounding inequality in
the workplace and the need for organizations to implement long-term solutions.
The results also align with a recent McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) report that finds: “Gender inequality is
not only a pressing moral and social issue but also a critical economic challenge. If women—who account
for half the world’s working-age population—do not achieve their full economic potential, the global
economy will suffer.”1
