Published on PR Newswire January 21st, 2021 — More diverse leadership in 2020
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As we reflect on the challenges we faced and opportunities 2021 brings, the Women Business Collaborative (WBC) and Equilar share good news from the private sector: the number of women and diverse women appointed to board of public companies continues to increase. In December 2020, public companies appointed 107 women to Boards of public companies as compared to 175 men. Women comprised 37.8% of overall board appointments. This reflects an upward trend in the 4th quarter of 2020 with women comprising on average 41% of appointees.
The appointments of women of color continues to rise. In December, 28 of the women appointed identified as women of color with women identifying as African American leading the way with 13 seats. Nine of these African American women are first time board members – the pool of women holding board seats of public companies is growing. This is exactly what the WBC and its partners and champions are calling for – parity in leadership positions on all boards.
Edie Fraser, CEO of the WBC, said, "The latest data reflects that more companies are adding women, and the private sector is taking major steps towards true representation coupled with calls from groups such as Nasdaq to include at least one board member of diversity."
This upward trend demonstrates the attention the private sector is paying to calls for diverse leadership on boards. The call is for boards of public companies to look more like the composition of the population, communities, customers and public.
During 2020 the trend toward parity was positive. Women gained a net of 1,055 seats on board of public companies and replaced 115 seats previously held by men. Overall, women gained 2.3% points of seats going from constituting 19.2% of board seats at the end of 2019 to 12.5% of board seats at the end of 2020.
Directors identifying as people of color comprised 12.5% of all the appointments in 2020. As this information is self-reported, it is important to note that the percentage of people of color appointed to public boards could be higher.
The overall trends across companies shows an increase in both the number of women and people of color appointed to boards of public companies. Equilar and WBC are tracking and analyzing the appointment of directors in terms of numbers, diversity and profile; but also, the companies and industries in which female board members are present and how many of the overall board seats are held by women. The time is now for women to sit across all companies, boards, and sectors. Please, join us in celebrating, tracking, analyzing, and promoting women on boards of public companies.

Published for PR Newswire January 2021 — UPS, Clorox, Citigroup, CVS, and Dick's Sporting Goods named women CEOs pushing women into 7.8 percent of top corporate leadership. Additionally, women of color joined boards at record levels ensuring gains are widely shared.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — While the challenges of 2020 have led some women to leave the workforce due to the pandemic, others are rising to top levels of business, according to a new report. Women made gains in leadership roles in all sectors but private industry truly stepped up in the last year. This was more than simply platitudes and commitment statements but included accelerating the pace of appointments of women to the highest levels, showing results and being more flexible with its workforce during the pandemic.
"2020 might have been a difficult year, but this demonstrates that the time is now for women to move from C-Suite to CEOs and boards and all sectors," says Edie Fraser, CEO of the Women's Business Collaborative (WBC) which presented the report. "We expect accelerated progress in 2021. Expect accountability! Expect more good news."
Number of Women CEOs has risen from 6% 2019 to a projected 8.2% by Feb. 2021: WBC with C200 and Catalyst published the Women CEOs in America Report and website, the first report tracking women CEOs across public and private companies. In December 2019, Women held 30 (6.0%) of CEO positions in S&P 500 companies. At the start of 2020, women comprised 6.7% of CEO positions, and at the close of 2020, women, hold 7.8% of CEO positions. The numbers are rising with UPS, Clorox, Citigroup, CVS, and Dick's Sporting Goods naming women CEOs. We expect women CEOs to constitute 8.2% of CEOs by February 2021 and 15% of Fortune 500 and S&P roles by 2025 with 10% of those being women of color.
Women of Color and Women Overall are Taking Seats on Boards of public Companies: WBC and Equilar joined forces to publish a monthly report, Women Joining Public Boards – the first report listing and tracking women named to public company boards. In the last three months, an average of 40% of appointments are women with one-third of those identifying as women of color. In November 2020 of the 113 women appointed to public boards, 44 identified as women of color. This is historic given that in January 2020, no women were appointed to boards of public companies in the Russell 3000 index.
NASDAQ put forth its commitment requiring its 3,000+ companies listed to improve boardroom diversity by appointing at least one woman and at least one minority or LGBTQ+ person. WBC and members of its Women in the Boardroom Initiative (a total of 11 partner organizations) voice support for NASDAQ's commitment. WBC calls for women to hold 30% of Fortune 500, S&P and Russell 3000 seats by 2025 and 10% of those women be women of color.
"As vaccines are dispensed, food insecurity and economic pressures becomes acute, racial inequities and injustice laid bare and the Black Lives Matter movement recognized, this is truly good news of the accelerated results for women's leadership in the private sector, particularly for women of color," concluded WBC COO Gwen Young.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — WBC Women Joining Public Boards November Monthly Report, empowered by Equilar, clearly demonstrates the call for diversity is being heard by public companies. In November 2020, public companies appointed women to fill 112 seats, or 42% of the 266 overall appointments including 33 women who identified as women of color. Black women comprised 72.7% of those women. The 42% figure marks a rising trend for appointments and is up from the newsworthy 40.9% in October. November and October data show a doubling of women from a year ago and clearly women of color making huge gains.
The Women Joining Public Boards report shows the numbers, rates and profiles of women appointed to public boards with a focus on diversity and analyzes the industry sectors where women are participating on boards. Edie Fraser, CEO of WBC remarks, "We share this monthly report showing not only the numbers increase—doubling since 2019– but naming the companies and sharing the profiles."
112 women were named to public boards in November, 42% of board seats. Of the appointments, 56 of those were first time appointments. It's worth noting that this good news means more women are being appointed to the highest levels of public companies.
In November, 33 women identified as women of color, 72.7% of those being black women. This is a critical measure as diversity is at the forefront of business leadership and business practices in 2020. And progress is accelerating.
Healthcare companies continue to lead the way in appointing women closely followed by the companies in the technology and industrials sectors. The financial services industry is seeing an uptick in board appointments who are women including at Visa and Fidelity. The energy sector is showing growth too and appointed 7 women, including two at Oasis Petroleum.
The November 2020 report continues WBC's deep dive into the compilation and analysis of comprehensive data for women joining boards of public companies.

NASDAQ said its decision is based on the significant link found between diverse boards and better corporate governance and financial performance.

SIA Annual List Recognizes Women Shaping the Industry
Mountain View, California — November 17, 2020 — Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions, has announced the Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list for 2020. In its sixth year, this annual list recognizes women for their excellence as leaders and influencers in the global talent marketplace. The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list is sponsored by Bullhorn.
The Global Power 150 list is not a ranking but a way to recognize women in leadership positions and to increase visibility for the important contributions women have made across the industry. From CEOs and entrepreneurs to division heads, technologists, workforce specialists, operational experts and legal professionals, this year’s honorees have helped to shape a $498 billion global staffing industry while paving the way for a more equitable future of work. The 2020 list includes 54 women who are being named to the list for the first time and spotlights many women for their roles in advancing digital/tech agendas, initiatives and processes that enhance and strengthen their businesses as well as ecosystem.
“The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing 2020 are redefining leadership in their decisions, their compassion and their service to their teams and communities,” said Subadhra Sriram, Editor & Publisher, Media Products at SIA. “In a year rife with disruption and with ripple effects disproportionally impacting women and communities of color, this year’s honorees are steadfast in their commitments to diversity and to building resilient and inclusive organizations as they take their businesses, and the ecosystem, forward.”
“We're proud to have Bullhorn support the SIA Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list once again," said Art Papas, Founder and CEO of Bullhorn. "McKinsey research found that, following the fallout of the pandemic, more than one in four women are contemplating downsizing their careers or leaving the workforce completely. It's important to us that we help highlight, celebrate and promote women in our industry, and create role models for others."
The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing website debuts the full 2020 list this week, showcasing these inspiring leaders and the impact they have on the industry. Profiles of the Americas 100 are also featured in the November/December 2020 issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine.
