- Organisation: That Works for Me
Despite women entering the workforce in roughly equal number to men, across industries, women’s representation declines at every successive level of leadership. Women account for only 30% of managerial roles in the UK, and this declines further at moresenior levels. In the UK, women account for only 26% of executives on Exco (FTSE350), and only 4% of CEOs.
