The Path to Parity: Women in the Workplace
Only 28% of leadership roles and 34% of board positions in STOXX Europe 600 companies are held by women.
Despite a cultural push for gender equality across Europe and mandated boardroom quotas in some of the bloc’s biggest countries, women are still underrepresented in the upper echelons of corporate life.
The pandemic is also taking a toll. Women are now significantly more burned out from the “double double shift”, adding to the risk that they will retreat from management positions.
The Financial Times is partnering with the Luxembourg Times to present this conference on gender equality in business.
Explore the skills and strategies you need to get to the top; hear leadership lessons from some of Europe’s most powerful businesswomen; and discover the practical and measurable actions companies can take to improve gender balance.
This event is by invitation only. If you would like to apply to attend, find out more here.
