Evidencing the Contribution of Gender Balance to Board Effectiveness
The 30% Club, in partnership with board advisory specialists Lintstock, has today issued new qualitative analysis based on the engagement of male and female directors in 100 FTSE board reviews in a report titled Evidencing the Contribution of Gender Balance to Board Effectiveness.
The survey showcases the difference gender diversity makes to the running of corporate boards, with a significant finding that women are more likely than men to focus on emerging issues, notably company culture and employee development.
In addition, female directors were also more likely to offer criticism and recommendations for improvement on both their own performance and their business activities.
