Survey carried out by ICAEW and Robert Half
Nearly two-thirds of female accountants in business felt that flexible working hours, either informal or formal, were an important factor when determining job satisfaction compared to only 39% of men, according to research from the ICAEW and financial recruitment consultancy Robert Half Finance & Accounting.
This finding comes as the number of newly qualified women continues to rise, up from one-third of the total (32%) in the year 2000 to nearly half in 2007 (55% male; 45% female).
The survey also found that employers’ approaches in meeting the ‘ family-friendly’ demands of ACAs in business varied with 69% of those surveyed having a fixed benefits package and only 9% having childcare as part of that package.
