Public naming and shaming, investors revolting, and media outrage … yet we’re still no further forward when it comes to gender diversity at the highest levels of business …
Recent research from The Pipeline, an organisation that enables companies to achieve their diversity goals through leadership programmes and consultancy, shows that 85% of FTSE 350 firms do not have a female board member in an executive role, while just 3.7pc have a female chief executive – down on the figure for 2017. To add to this, the suggestion that corporate firms are treating gender diversity in senior roles as a ‘tick box exercise’ has arisen again.
