Why is Getting Women on Boards a Necessary Conversation?

Even though boardroom diversity is gradually increasing, women still remain grossly underrepresented on leadership boards in the workplace. Delloite carried out an assessment of about 6000 companies in 49 countries and found out that the percentage of board seats held by women is only 12%. This number is quite measly considering the fact that women are becoming more qualified and accomplished in the corporate world. So one would wonder why there are so few women on boards today.

This episode of Women in Leadership podcast will focus on the challenges women face in trying to get leadership roles in the workplace and how to ensure more women get on boards.
