#FTSE250 representation of women in all key functional roles has increased again in the year, or remained broadly similar, excepting the #CIO where there remains significant opportunity. There has also been a modest, but welcome increase in the number of women #FinanceDirectors.

Women in key, decision-making roles are now commonplace. The representation of women CIOs, and Company Secretaries in #FTSE100 companies increased during 2021, countered by a marginal dip in the General Counsel and Finance Director roles, and HRDs where women tend to dominate.

Recent research from Harvard Business Review and Russell Reynolds Associates shows that CEO jobs are adapting, and companies are increasingly seeking leaders with strong social skills, as opposed to purely focusing on operational expertise. #WomenLeaders.

We know that having a strong and talented pipeline of senior women is something that organisations need to focus on to increase women's representation at the top, This article focuses the issues in the hiring and retention process for talented women.

Nimesh Patel, our Co-Chair and CFO at Spirax-Sarco Engineering plc, shares with us what he is most excited about for this next phase of the Review, and the opportunity to achieve gender balance. #FTSEWomenLeaders #WomenonBoards #WomeninLeadership #AchievingGenderBalance

Dame @gadhiaj former @VirginMoney CEO & Founder/Executive Chair of Snoop identifies 2 big challenges for business - diversity & technology "It’s so important to avoid groupthink. And it’s important for innovation to bring in people who challenge the norm.”.

"We need to galvanise investors to use their voting powers to press for this change with a two-pronged benefit - gender representation and increased accountability. The power of investor action and voting cannot be overestimated." - @michellescrim, Chief Executive of @LGIM

Analysis suggests only 1/3 of eligible fathers take paternity leave & statutory paternity leave pay is 1/4 of UK average earnings. If businesses do not provide other paid opportunities for men this leaves the women carrying the burden, and at what cost? .

"As women, we don't win this agenda if only some of us are successful, we only win this agenda if we are all successful." Pamela Hutchinson OBE speaking at our Panel session during our report launch on the importance of women supporting women in business. #AchievingGenderBalance
