How Companies Can Fix the Gender Imbalance in Leadership Positions
ABOUT THE EVENT
Women hold more than a third of board positions at FTSE 350 companies, according to the final report of the Hampton-Alexander Review. While progress has been made on improving the gender diversity of boards, women remain largely under-represented in senior leadership positions. Why is it so difficult to create diverse senior teams, even in companies which are genuinely committed to this aim? Companies that proactively plan talent development and succession pipelines are more likely to improve the appointment of women into more executive roles. This session will provide an in-depth discussion on what effective measures companies can take to improve gender balance across their organisations and the challenges associated with this.
