Research on Women, Money and Leave

Explore our research on women and their relationship to money as well as the consequences when they need to take a leave of absence. You’ll find data and insights on how financial knowledge and leave impacts them, their families — and their perceptions of employee benefits.

Research from The Standard shows that women tread a fine line between safeguarding current-day budgets and saving for retirement. Employers have an opportunity to go beyond basic workplace benefits to support women’s financial well-being and strengthen retention, morale and leadership development.

Women are more likely than men to take a leave of absence, which affects not only their well-being but also company culture and productivity. Approaching women’s leave with an eye toward targeted support, education and accommodations can help drive organizational loyalty and engagement along with individual success.

When women see their wages grow, their understanding of money grows too. And that affects how they view their choices for career, family — and workplace benefits. See how employers can support women at all income levels, so they can bring their best to an organization.
