Transparency is key for women seeking new roles, in terms of the opportunity, pay, benefits and flexibility. But how do you truly assess an organisation's cultural fit during a short, 60-minute interview?

Work180's 2025 What Women Want survey found "8/10 women said they’d avoid applying for a role if they were unable to see the company’s employee benefits and workplace policies upfront (a stat that has doubled in just one year)".

In this episode I aim to give you some ways to assess an organisation's cultural fit with your own needs and ambitions.

We are talking about:

The growing importance of an organisation's social, sustainability and inclusion policies
How to assess the tangibility of an organisation's values and mission
Which influential leaders to research and why
Understanding how an organisation wishes to compete and be profitable and again, if that aligns with your own values

Something Rebecca said today:

"Women can vote with their feet and seek out employers that align more deeply with their own mission and values." (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
