The Statistics

A third of all board positions in the UK’s FTSE 100 companies are now held by women.
It’s been found that black women fare the worst in terms of progression in financial firms.
Major financial firms in the UK have made little to no progression in closing the gender pay gap.
Firms which appointed a female CFO also had higher profitability.
Be Part Of Change
At #YesSheCan, we are optimistic this can change. However, change can only happen when leaders from the top make a visible and long-lasting shift internally. This can include transforming recruitment processes, breaking down stereotypes and gender bias and engaging women at every level of the industry.
We support women across all careers especially those in male-dominated industries by offering a collection of stories from inspirational women on our blog and events.
We have successfully aided several businesses with our Diversity and Inclusion workshops. You can learn more about our D&I roadmap and how we can give that extra support for your business and employees.
#YesSheCan has a number of Services your business can access to help you to be more Diverse and Inclusive.
