INSIGHT

Why are there still so few women on executive boards?

Lessons from Coaching.

Last year Lord Davies of Abersoch set FTSE 100 companies the challenge to achieve 25 per cent of their members being female by 2015. While women now make up 22.4% of FTSE board non-executive directors, the percentage of women executives remains at a tiny 6.6%. It is here that the challenge remains.

Many chief executives are extremely frustrated that, despite numerous initiatives, they can’t seem to persuade enough women to apply for senior roles.

We hope these insights will help to achieve a rapid step change in the number of women applying for the UK’s top roles – and play their part in helping UK plc to perform better.
