Women Leadership in the Indian Corporate Sector - AVedic insight

Abstract

The Credit Suisse Gender Diversity report, published recently, highlights the sorry state of women's representation in the Indian corporate sector. Women representation in Indian boards was 17% compared to 35% in the UK and 29% in US/Canada. Women held top management positions in only 6% of Indian corporates surveyed, compared to 13% in the UK and 13% in the US/Canada There is growing research around the globe proving that business settings with diverse leadership are more creative, progressive, inclusive, stable, and economically profitable. The studies also showcase that increased gender equality results in better employees, reduced costs for staff turnover and increased corporate social responsibility
