Women at Work

On the surface, the participation of women in Canada’s workforce may appear stable but many organizations are experiencing hidden risks that impact retention, advancement, and longer-term stability. Persistent turnover, stalled career progression, and mid-career attrition are not isolated issues; they signal deeper gaps in how work is designed, measured, and supported.

In this webinar, Signal49 Research presents new Canadian evidence on women at work, uncovering where participation risks exist and why they often go undetected. Drawing on our benefits benchmarking, employee experience data, and applied research on promotion, retention, and workforce design, this session goes beyond headline metrics to explore what’s really driving long-term workforce outcomes.

Understand where participation risks surface, why women leave or stay, and how Signal49’s data helps organizations distinguish between structural barriers and short‑term labour market dynamics. This discussion will highlight the limits of surface‑level metrics and the importance of more precise evidence in understanding women’s participation over time.
