A Study into the experiences of senior women in financial services

In the financial sector, the number of women in senior positions remains low and while there are policies in place to redress this balance, they are not working well.

The McKinsey report ‘Women Matter' points out that companies with more women on their executive outperform companies with no women in senior positions.

This report has two aims:

• To understand how successful women in the finance sector have developed their careers
• To provide financial institutions with meaningful information and analysis that can be used to address the gender imbalance

The report then talks about the different aspects found in researching 54 organisations with a combined turnover of over £500 billion.

Some of the factors that the report looks at are:

• The roles of women in the organisation
• Sectors represented by participants
• Characteristics of successful women in financial services
• The impact of children
• Professional interactions

The report then creates and Action Plan for change which helps any organization look at improving the situation with more women in senior management positions. A good read for any organization who wants to change and improve their diversity ratios.
