International Women’s Day on 8 March focuses on gender equality. Here’s where Clone stands:
The Clone Workforce
- 55% of our team is female
- Women at Clone earn more on average than men
- Our female colleagues range from 21 to 70 years old
- We now have female representation in our senior leadership
These figures contrast sharply with wider industry statistics:
- Only 23% of designers are female (Design Council)
- Just 17% of UK Creative Directors are women
What We’ve Done
- 30% of our female team work compressed hours or part-time contracts
- We’ve funded professional development for 70% of our women this year
- We’ve increased hybrid working options for 2025
- Female promotions have been celebrated throughout the business
The Daily Reality
Women in the workplace face practical challenges every day:
- Balancing work and home responsibilities
- Providing care for children and relatives
- Returning to work after maternity leave
- Managing health issues from periods to menopause
Beyond One Day
Gender equality requires consistent action throughout the year, not just recognition on International Women’s Day. Our focus remains on practical workplace policies that support women daily.
The numbers tell the story: everyone benefits when women have the right support.
