At Grant Thornton, we embed diversity, inclusivity, and equity into our culture, and according to findings in our 2022 Women in Business Report, there is good news to report on women’s advancement into senior management roles (yes, really!). In our 2022 research, we see businesses taking deliberate, necessary action to create more inclusive working practices, prioritizing employee engagement, and opening the door to allow female talent access to senior positions in greater numbers than ever before. These proactive policies have resulted in an overall increase in the proportion of women in senior management around the globe, rising from 31% of top leadership positions in 2021 to 32% today. Over the last decade, we have seen that figure increase by 11 percentage points, up from 21% in 2012.
As two female senior leaders representing Grant Thornton to our GHWCC family, we could not be more proud of the work Grant Thornton does across the spectrum of DE&I, nor could we be more excited to share women’s advancements with you all in Grant Thornton’s annual research.
