| Abstract: | Women are generally under-represented in management positions in commerce and industry and frequently also in the workforce itself. This is not only a problem for the women but also for the companies that do not benefit from the talent, perspectives and capabilities of women who are not only potential managers and workers, but also consumers.
In order to have more women playing important roles in business organizations, it is frequently necessary to take a proactive approach towards their inclusion. In this talk I analyse the relevant factors highlighted by the progress report Women in economic decision-making in the EU recently published by the department of Justice of the European Union. I then present the findings of my own research on the recruitment and promotion of women by ‘excellent’ British organizations (as defined by the European Foundation for Quality Management criteria). Drawing on their best practices I make recommendations on how gender equality may be encouraged. |
