A 2006 study helped shape how Europe approaches gender diversity in leadership.
The research article “Do Women in Top Management Affect Firm Performance?” suggested that:
- firms with highly qualified female CEOs and board members tend to outperform their peers, especially in profitability and innovation
- the positive effects of women in leadership depends on the level of their qualifications
Almost two decades later, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Union continue to draw on this study to explore the importance of gender equality in the workplace.
