Gender diversity: make it happen
Corporate leadership must take the issue beyond a one-off diversity effort and into mainstream talent management.
MARCH 8 was International Women's Day. A number of events for women and celebrating women were organised here in Singapore and around the world. In fact, the month of March will see a myriad of events celebrating women and their successes.
The awareness of gender equality is becoming ubiquitous. More women's conferences are being organised around the globe. Over the last five years, there has been an explosion of women entrepreneurs and women organisations.
One such organisation is BoardAgender, launched in 2011 in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. Its objective is to create awareness of the benefits of having more women on boards and the importance of building a senior women leadership pipeline.
