As the Mum of a #SportyGirl, I’m so aware of a welcome shift of interest in #HerSport and I can see the benefits; self esteem, confidence, resilience, leadership & teamwork. Even better, #WomensSportsFoundation found strong links between sport and leadership positions later in life #PlayToLead

Analysis of 137 articles finds 87% reported a positive impact of female leadership in healthcare on financial performance, innovation, ethics/sustainability, health outcomes, org culture & women's careers. Globally women are 70% of workforce; 25% of leaders. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Female health leaders are good for wellbeing, research finds - but while women make up 70% of workforce, they hold only 25% of leadership roles

We frequently receive requests to support job evaluation (the process by which AfC banding can be reviewed and changed). NHS Employers have posted this useful infographic for employees, managers, union reps and HR:
