Trends in Female Executive Representation across Industries PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide Business Case for Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) PowerPoint presentation, presents findings on the slow increase of female representation in executive roles across various industries. It highlights a troubling trend where, despite some sectors showing rapid growth in female executives, the overall scenario remains bleak. The absence of significant growth in female representation is noted across a wide range of countries, indicating a systemic issue rather than isolated incidents.

The research emphasizes a widening gap between organizations that actively engage in diversity and inclusion (D&I) practices and those that have yet to adopt such measures. Notably, while women’s representation in executive teams has seen the fastest growth in financial services, technology, and media—averaging nearly 1.5% per year—the overall increase at the entry level is minimal, at only 0.3% annually.

A surprising finding is that even in industries like healthcare, where female representation is high, this does not translate into leadership roles. The data reveals that women filling line roles were only one-third of the total in 2019, with the majority occupying support or staff positions. Since tracking began in 2017, the proportions of women in these roles have remained stagnant, raising concerns about the effectiveness of current initiatives aimed at promoting gender parity in leadership.

This slide serves as a critical reminder for organizations to reassess their D&I strategies. The slow growth rates suggest that existing efforts may not be sufficient to foster real change. Stakeholders should consider this data when evaluating their own practices and the potential need for more robust interventions to enhance female representation in executive positions.
