chief executive women

HESTA is leading an initiative to encourage companies in the ASX200 to fill 40 per cent of their executive positions with women by 2030.

Just one of the 25 CEOs appointed to lead ASX 200 organisations in the past year has been female, and it’s not something we can excuse as a 2020 anomaly.

Revamping the childcare subsidy, proposed by KPMG, could see working parents better off and boost Australia’s economic growth by $700 million.

Most men in the workplace are supporters of gender equality, however only 17% prioritise taking action.

We hear a lot about how women are backward in coming forward, that instead of leaning in they lean out so far they don’t even take a seat at the table.

A few years ago Fortescue Metals Group was the last ASX50 company to have an all-male board.
