Zurich, March 12, 2021: Shepard Fox supports executive search firm Russell Reynolds in building thought leadership on diversity in corporate management and supervisory boards
The Swiss government’s gender guidelines taking effect at the beginning of the year, which mandate that large companies have a minimum of 30 percent women at the supervisory board level, and 20 percent at the executive board level, have so far not resulted in improving gender diversity, a new study by Russell Reynolds Associates finds. In the 20 companies comprising the Swiss Market Index (SMI), women currently hold 13 percent of executive roles, up just one percentage point from the year before, making Swiss companies laggards when compared to other countries: France, the Netherlands, the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden have on average all exceeded 20 percent women on executive boards. – Shepard Fox supports Russell Reynolds, the international leadership consultancy and executive search firm, in raising its profile for its HR and recruitment expertise via media relations promoting the results of their latest studies, arranging media interviews, providing media with expert views on latest leadership trends, and by creating thought leadership articles as well as social media content.
