Onderzoek: prestige belemmert vrouwen in besturen grote bedrijven

Back to overview

A new study examining nearly 2,000 FTSE-100 board directors has uncovered a paradox regarding women in leadership positions. Research indicates that prestige and high-profile status can actually hinder women's advancement to corporate boards, contrary to what might be expected. The findings suggest that factors beyond qualifications and achievement play a significant role in board appointments for women. This research challenges conventional assumptions about merit-based advancement in corporate governance.
