NEW YORK (PRWEB) March 10, 2021
YPO, the Financial Times and the United Nations Women HeForShe initiative today announced that they are partnering to field groundbreaking research around the critical topic of gender parity in business. Entering the field today to YPO’s global leadership community of more than 30,000 chief executives in over 140 countries, the survey will examine the leadership journey to the corner office, as well as gain key learnings into what the different career paths, opportunities and obstacles exist to that destination.
Key areas that the YPO, Financial Times, UN Women HeForShe survey will address include:
- Actions that business leaders have taken that have made the biggest impact in creating gender equality or a culture of gender inclusiveness in the workplace.
- Insights into what chief executives can do to make the workplace more gender inclusive and their thoughts on what the biggest obstacles are to achieving gender parity in business.
- Current leaders’ advice to the next generation of business leaders to accelerate and continue the forward momentum.
The results of the research will be announced globally on 10 May 2021, in conjunction with the UN Women’s HeforShe Summit event. The actionable insights will provide tools to the global business community to build, enable, and empower gender equality in their businesses and communities, resulting in an important step forward in the effort to achieve gender equality at scale.
