The FTSE 100 Boardroom Gender Gap - CareerMetis.com

The FTSE 100 Boardroom Gender Gap In 2011, an independent government review recommended that all UK FTSE 100 companies aim to have at least 25% of their board members be female by 2015.Three years on from that date, and with International Women’s Dayjust around the corner, serviced apartments provider SilverDoorhave carried out research into the FTSE 100 to see just how many companies have met that recommendation.They looked at publically available information for each of the current FTSE 100 companies to see what ratio of male to female board members they had, as well as whether they had a woman as either CEO, founder or MO.evalWhile the research did show that 72% of the companies did meet the recommendation, on the whole, it doesn’t make great reading for women aspiring to make it in business.For example, just one company out of the hundred that were looked at achieved a 50-50 men to women split, with none having more women than men.And while a decent amount had achieved the 25% recommendation, the average rati o of female board members still sits only slightly higher than this So, what does the research tell us?It seems that while there is progress taking place, it’s certainly not improving at the rate that the 2011 review would have hoped, and many companies have a long way to go before achieving equality.You check out the full findings of the research in the infographic below.
