Small-and mid-sized German businesses are losing the race to hire more women for leadership roles. Candidates prefer to join firms with a female management culture, the AllBright foundation has found.
Family businesses in Germany are falling behind international companies on gender diversity. A new report has warned they could be putting off top talent.
A picture from the Munich Security Conference commanded global attention, yet it had nothing to do with the Ukraine conflict. For many, the all-male "CEO Lunch" photo represents the reality of corporate Germany.
The number of women on the executive boards of Germany's publicly traded companies is slowly going up. But when it comes to gender parity, Germany still lags far behind other developed countries.
Despite a recent increase of women on company management boards, in Germany a general conservative mindset at many firms is holding back gender parity, says Wiebke Ankersen from the AllBright Foundation.
