Advancing Women in Leadership: Business Case Q&A explores the value proposition that women in leadership positions are good for business. Research shows that women in senior leadership positions and on corporate boards lead to a higher return on investment, bring greater diversity of experience and thought to discussions, and are more representative of the market in which businesses operate.
While there is a return on investment in attracting, retaining and promoting women, there is also another element to consider — a sense of fair play.
The Q&A includes:
- examples of the hurdles women face
- the three cases for gender equality (the business case, the personal case, and the moral case)
- what can be done to help women advance in the profession
- links to additional resources
- tips on how to get involved with Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada) initiatives
- an infographic on advancing women in leadership
