Introducing a glass floor ?


'Seven years from now, one third of managers in governmental and stock market listed companies should be female.' This strong statement was made by Joelle Milquet who announced a non-governmental bill as a result of the survey 'Women in top positions' established by IGVM.

Even though studies prove that companies with female managers make more financial progress, 62 % of listed companies don't employ women leaders. Moreover modern women possess the same qualifications as men. In general all important decisions in management are still made by men while women represent more than 50 % of our population.

Aiming for equity between men and women, this quota could be a big step in the right direction.
