Over the last 12 months, our women in business research has drilled down into the gender diversity stats of mid-market organisations around the world, looking at how the numbers are changing, and most importantly, what businesses are doing to make them change.
Women in Business 2020: Putting the Blueprint into practice highlights the global trends where numbers appear to be leveling out, the success stories in regions such as Latin America and Africa where good progress is being made, and the senior roles most likely to be held by women.
