Observatory on Corporate Feminisation
SKEMA Business School's Observatory on Corporate Feminisation analyses the place of women in leadership positions and within companies. This initiative aims to promote gender equality in professional roles and to provide key data to drive practice change.
The Observatory was created by Prof. Michel Ferrary, Professor of Management at the University of Geneva and Affiliated Professor at SKEMA Business School. Each year, it gives access to numerical data on the reality of companies’ feminisation.
Michel Ferrary’s work is regularly featured in the French (Le Monde, l’Express…) and international media (Financial Times, Washington Post…). He was also a member of the Haut Conseil à l'Égalité entre les Femmes et les Hommes (an independent advisory body to the Prime Minister of France) from 2019 to 2021.
The objectives of the SKEMA Observatory on Corporate Feminisation:
- Take an overview of the feminisation of the workforce and management of major French companies
- Factors explaining the feminisation of large companies
- Analyse the relationship between feminisation and company performance
- Analytical elements for socially responsible investment
The previous reports are currently available only in French.
