The Singapore Women s Weekly
There’s some good news to report in Singapore this International Women’s Day , according to advisory firm Grant Thornton’s “Women in Business 2021” report. The number of women holding overall senior leadership positions in mid-market businesses in Singapore has hit 33 per cent, despite the adverse impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
While this is not quite gender parity, it does pass the critical 30 per cent, which research shows is the minimum representation needed to change decision-making processes. Of course, three per cent is a great start but there has to be more and this can only truly happen with women in power and men as their advocate.
