Cranfield’s 2018 Board Report shows that the FTSE 100 are on track to meet the Hampton-Alexander Review target. This is for women to hold 33% of positions on FTSE Boards by 2020, as well as on Executive Committees and their Direct Reports. 29% of board positions are now held by women, up from 27.7% in October 2017 and 12.5% in 2011. The FTSE 250 however, need to take action to address their slow progress.</p><p>The Government is supporting the Hampton-Alexander Review targets. Our new requirement for large employers to publish gender pay gap information is also exposing where women face barriers to progression and supporting employers to remove these. Other initiatives that support the talent pipeline of women include the Women’s Business Council’s action groups: Starting Out, Getting On and Staying On. The Government has also allocated £5million to help people who have taken time out for caring responsibilities, to return to work.</p><p>Our £1.5m Women’s Votes Centenary Grant Scheme is supporting grassroots projects across England that encourage more women to participate in all levels of politics so that they can have an equal voice in decision-making.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/07/2018 13:34:41 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
