加美妇女进步促进会报告提出5点促进公司领导层性别多元化意见

加美妇女进步促进会10月29日公布5份连续报告中的最后一份报告，提出5点促进公司领导层性别多元化的意见：

1. A business priority and leadership commitment: C-suite executives should decide that the advancement of women is critical to achieving the company’s business goals, and then clearly articulate their commitment to employees. 84% of High Risers report that their leadership is committed to gender diversity, compared to just 48% of other companies.

2. Capture data and measure progress: This research reveals a lack of essential data that could measure progress and identify potential obstacles to the advancement of women, such as high attrition rates among new mothers or the differences in attrition between men and women. High Risers collect data and utilize metrics at a higher rate; 58% of them track five to eight metrics, compared to 28% of other companies.

3. Hold leaders accountable: 67% of CHROs in Canada and 72% in the U.S. say there is someone on the senior leadership team who is accountable to the board on issues of gender equality. Beyond accountability to the board, the lack of basic measurement and plans for the advancement of women to senior leadership roles indicate that companies are not holding leaders across the business accountable for making progress.

4. Set targets: 67% of companies with six to eight targets report making progress in the representation of women at the executive level over the past five years, compared to just 40% of companies with zero to five targets.

5. Leverage existing research to create action plans: There are many research studies published, including reports by Catalyst and multi-year studies by Accenture and McKinsey/Lean In, that identify the actions a company should take to have a more diverse and equal workforce. Companies can use this significant body of research and insights to help them design their action plans.
