One in eight large employers admit workplace sexual harassment has gone unreported in their organisation.

A YouGov survey for Young Women’s Trusthas found that UK employers think men are more ambitious than women – despite nearly half of young women saying they would one day like to be the boss at work.

The Young Women’s Trust’s report on employer attitudes, released on 21 December, showed that, when asked which qualities applied more to men or women, HR decision-makers are five times more likely to say that men – rather than women – are ambitious.
