Introduction
The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is delighted to publish this white paper on the issue of Women in Leadership.
The fact women get paid less than men is nothing new, but even in modern times with a growing number of women in the workforce, the issue is still widespread.
Although it’s encouraging to see businesses have been focused on getting more women in the board room, we’ve still got a lot to do on equal pay and equal representation in top executive roles.
This paper pulls together key findings from CMI’s own research and material from an event in late 2012, covering the gender pay gap, aspirations, confidence and flexible working among other topics.
The panel event, focusing on Women in Leadership, was held in partnership with Women in Management (WiM) and was attended by over 200 guests at the Institute of Engineering and Technology.
