Undoubtedly, the pandemic has resulted in monumental changes to global working practices in the short span of two years. In that time, it has also introduced the concept of an employee’s market for recruitment and a fierce war for talent as employees – women especially – found more opportunities amidst the new and more flexible working conditions. Grant Thornton welcomes the seeming continuation of this trend as our research saw more than 70% of businesses are now working to create a more inclusive environment to attract and retain female talent.

For 17 years, Grant Thornton has been tracking the global progress of women in senior management. In the last 12 months, unprecedented events have had an unforeseen and unparalleled impact on that progress.

Last year’s Blueprint for Action laid out the foundational pillars for getting more women into senior management around the world. In 2020, building on more than 15 years of research, the Grant Thornton Women in Business report drills down into the numbers to uncover whether the Blueprint pillars are being put into practice. By highlighting what is being done – and what still needs to happen – Grant Thornton aims to act as an agent for change in the drive to increase gender parity in business management across the globe.
