19 DECEMBER 2025W MAN LEADERGLOBAL W MAN LEADERGLOBAL much productive as compared to WFO (Work from Office).This year's report enumerates half of the partici-pants of the survey remarks that they are facing high-er stress levels than last year and equivalent number mentions about concerned mental health. The survey outlines Mental health as top three concern for 48 per cent of women globally while financial security at 51 per cent and lastly rights at 50 per cent.Moreover, Deloitte's Global Chief Diversity, Equi-ty, and Inclusion Officer, Emma Codd says, "Despite a small number of improvements since last year, our survey tells us that women are facing mounting pres-sures in the workplace, their personal lives, and in their communities. Globally, women feel their rights are backsliding, they are experiencing increased stress and taking on the majority of household tasks at home. Alongside this they are experiencing non-inclusive behaviours at work, are concerned for their safety and feel unable to disclose when they are experiencing women's health challenges. This is a situation that must change--and employers must en-able this."DEEP DIVE INTO THE REPORTAccording to the report, 50 per cent of women who work as per their working hours admits their mental health to be good enough while 23 per cent of women who regularly work extra hours disagrees to the fact. Then there's 37 per cent of wom-en say they feel likely to switch off from their work. In addi-tion, over 50 per cent of women mentions that they aren't getting enough mental health support from employers whereas 2/3 of women are not comfortable talking about their men-tal health in the workplace.Flashing light on the other aspects, 50 per cent of women, living with their partners and children ex-presses that they have the responsibility of child-care i.e., up from 46 per cent in the year 2023 while only 12 per cents admits that this responsibility falls to their partner. Likewise, 57 per cent of women who doesn't have children, are committed to taking responsibility of adult care that goes up from 44 per cent in 2023 whereas only 5 per cent say this falls to their partner.CONCLUSIONThe disbalance of the responsibilities makes it even difficult for women to manage their professional lives. It reports only 27 per cent women who bear the great-est responsibility at home say they can disconnect from their personal life and focus on their careers.The survey calls for action in order to give a bal-anced work life for women who are willing to give their best while showcasing their skills in the work-place besides being homemakers. If women get the chance to solely focus on their work then they would have acquired much more progress than what the percentage shows today.
