Why

In the UK Corporate collapses have forced both private and public sector boards to become much more accountable and have found it necessary to re-evaluate the skill sets required to operate affectively at Board level. In these challenging times of global economic change, there is a greater realisation that women often bring a different approach and skill set which can add real value to the Boardroom. Read about what's being debated nationally and internationally on our news page.

In the past 10 years there has only been a 5% increase in the number of women being appointed to the boards of the FTSE 100 companies and out of the 149 new appointments made in 2008 only 16 of those (a mere 11%) were women. By failing to access all available board room talent there is on offer UK organisations will not be capable of reaching their full potential.

Women on Board seeks to address these issues by highlighting the under-representation of women in positions of leadership whilst ensuring that aspiring female Directors be judged on their skills, experience and not their gender.
