NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- "Tiger"
Tyagarajan, chief executive officer of Genpact, and the 60+ other
Catalyst CEO Champions for Change, who took a pledge to
advance more women into senior leadership positions and onto their
boards, are making tangible progress, according to Catalyst's
latest report.
The report, Progress in Action: Catalyst CEO Champions for
Change, shows the companies—representing
more than 10 million employees and more than $3 trillion in revenue globally—improved their
representation metrics in top leadership positions and throughout
the pipeline for all women over a five-year period:
- Notably, women's representation on the boards of Champion
companies increased dramatically—from 22.6% in 2013 to 30.7% in
2018.
- Among executives, women's representation increased from 22.5%
in 2013 to 25.1% in 2018.
- Among senior managers, women's representation increased from
26.4% in 2013 to 29.0% in 2018.
- Among managers, women's representation increased from 36.7% in
2013 to 37.4% in 2018.
"We're proud that women represent 40% of Genpact's board of
directors," said 'Tiger' Tyagarajan, chief executive officer,
Genpact. "Diversity of all kinds always leads to the most
robust discussions and therefore the best business outcomes. In
today's fast-changing technology-driven world it's clear this is
the strategically and financially smart thing to do."
In addition, Genpact and the Champion companies collectively
outpaced their global peers in representation of women across the
leadership pipeline in 2018, having more women board directors,
executives, senior managers, and managers in comparison.
Tyagarajan and the other Catalyst CEO Champions for
Change boldly pledge to be transparent and share metrics on their
progress to hold themselves and their organizations
accountable.
"We are living in a time where people expect the business
community to reflect what society looks like, yet we are still far
from gender equality in the workforce," said Catalyst President and
CEO Lorraine Hariton. "Genpact's
'Tiger' Tyagarajan and the Catalyst CEO Champions for Change have
taken concrete steps to create change for women, including women of
color, in the workplace. These leaders exemplify the immense power
of action, and we are proud and honored to be working alongside
them."
