Going forward female owned businesses are expected to be the biggest growth sector in the next ten years, according to a range of independent studies. Female resignations hit a 30 year high according to the National Management Salary Survey, now in its 34th year. Based on a survey of 42,205 individuals the report finds that resignation rates for women stand at 7.8% compared to 6.4% for men. Commenting on the findings the Chartered Management Institute suggests women are more likely to leave their jobs because they have a greater entrepreneurial spirit and are looking to start their own business. The survey shows that women achieve promotion at a quicker rate than men but that efforts to redress the pay gap have begun to stall.
