Research from top consulting firms has shown the positive impacts gender diversity has on organisations and their ability to successfully navigate a crisis. Yet, two figures strike our attention: women remain underrepresented in positions of leadership with only 21% of C-suite positions and account for 54% of overall job losses due to the current pandemic-induced economic crisis, often being the first in line to bear negative consequences. Because this issue affects us all, ESCP Executive Education is bringing together a panel of experts to explore what we can do to make a case for women in times of crisis and effect positive change.
