Businesses perform better if women employed

United Nations, May 23 (UNI) Businesses perform better – sometimes by as much as 20 per cent – when they employ more women in top positions, UN labour experts have said, warning nonetheless that most still pay lip-service to the idea of gender equality in the boardroom.

In terms of profits, almost three-quarters of companies that tracked gender diversity in management positions reported increases of between five and 20 per cent, while the majority saw 10 to 15 per cent growth.
