Boardrooms in Singapore still lagging in gender diversity: Hays survey

Singapore

WHEN it comes to female representation in the corporate boardroom, Singapore still trails most key cities in Asia, says global recruitment firm Hays.

Announcing the survey finding in its 2015 salary guide - and ahead of International Women's Day this Sunday - Hays says only slightly more than one in four, or 27 per cent, of management positions here are filled by women. This is unchanged from a year ago and below the Asian 29 per cent average, according to Hays.
