In the Anglo-Western world, financial institutions left and right are patting themselves on the back for adding more of that “other” gender to their echelons of upper-management.
According the Financial News Online, “The number of female directors on the boards of the 20 banks surveyed has increased by 75%, from 20 to 35, and the overall percentage of female directors has risen from 7.7% to 12.3%. More than half of the respondents increased the number of female directors in the past five years.”
And according to a diversity survey conducted by Financial News, it’s important for banks to hire more women and for these banks to encourage support groups to “mentor” women. Because clearly, the fairer sex needs more mentoring…?
