    Female representation in leadership

     

    For decades, businesses have focused on creating development programmes and strategies designed to improve the pipeline of women into leadership roles. However, despite this focus, women still hold only 31% of leadership positions globally, according to the World Economic Forum (2022).

    This new blog explores some of the many challenges women face and how organisations, leaders, and allies can reduce barriers to leadership.
