Naar jaarlijkse traditie publiceert Grant Thornton International op Internationale Vrouwendag haar rapport over vrouwen in het senior bedrijfsmanagement. Driekwart van de bevraagde mid-marketbedrijven in 35 landen heeft intussen minstens 1 vrouw in het senior management, maar verhoudingsgewijs nemen vrouwen er nog altijd maar een kwart van de posities in! Nochtans gaan (gender-) diversiteit en commercieel succes hand in hand. Het rapport analyseert niet alleen de bevindingen, maar formuleert naar goede gewoonte ook heel waardevolle, praktische aanbevelingen

The European economy, still continuing its economic recovery after the 2008 financial crisis, faces many potential risks. Though varied, they fall into two broad categories. Firstly, a band of social and political pressures which are driving media headlines: a potential ‘Brexit’, the migrant crisis and the continued rise of nationalist sentiment. Secondly, we have economic issues that have been present for a good few years: high unemployment, low inflation and persistently low economic growth.
The gender diversity issue has been on the business agenda for many years now, yet a third of businesses still have no women at a senior management level. Somewhere there is a disconnect.
Our 2015 women in business report looks at how to facilitate the career paths of women into senior management and offers 12 recommendations to society, government, businesses and women themselves about how to better support female advancement.
