    MORE businesses in Singapore are ticking the "diversity" box to avoid an all-male management team, but concerns mount on whether there is real progress made on gender diversity.

    It was revealed that 78 per cent of businesses here have at least one woman on the senior management team, up from 64 per cent in 2017, according to the annual Women in Business report by consultancy Grant Thornton International released on International Women's Day.
