Despite the proven benefits of gender diversity, there is a conspicuous deficit of women in C-suite roles compared to their male counterparts. Recent data from Korn Ferry indicates that women occupy only 25% of C-suite roles, and a meager 6% of CEO roles.
Getting more women in leadership roles is an uphill battle. It means rewriting the status quo, and it takes proactive, dedicated effort. The good news? The data overwhelmingly suggests that, from a healthier balance sheet to a more values-forward brand presence, those efforts will be rewarded.
A study of more than 13,000 organizations in 70 countries found that a majority of companies that tracked gender diversity saw profit increases of 5-20%.
