More women on boards is key to improving employee satisfaction
Want to boost employee satisfaction within your organisation? Get more women onto the board of directors
Leadership is no longer a men-only game; more and more women are rightfully claiming their space in leadership positions and on boards of directors, but there is still a significant gap between the sexes.
We all know the arguments for having more women on boards, but perhaps a less well known reason is that having fewer women than men on company boards can actually hinder employee satisfaction.
Looking at the FTSE 100, the top 25 companies that have a greater number of women on their board of directors score higher in Glassdoor ratings, across areas such as culture and values, diversity and inclusion, work-life balance, senior management, compensation and benefits and career opportunities.
