UNICON Webinar | Executive Education | CarringtonCrisp

Despite decades of progress, women remain underrepresented in leadership positions across most sectors and regions. Persistent barriers, such as limited access to senior networks, work-life imbalance and a lack of flexible career pathways, continue to slow women’s career progression. Against this background, executive and business education has the potential to unlock opportunities, build confidence and accelerate women’s professional advancement.

The What Women Want 2025 study from CarringtonCrisp explores the experiences and perspectives of women and employers and was created with support from: Bentley University, Cambridge Judge Business School, EDHEC, ESADE, IE Business School, IMD, Imperial College, London Business School, Michigan Ross, Monash Business School, Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin and UNSW Business School/AGSM.

The research draws on two global surveys conducted in May 2025: one with over 5,000 women aged 25–55 from 26 countries and the other by more than 500 employers from 28 countries. In addition, 25 in-depth interviews were conducted with women, who were at different career stages, and 10 employers.
