Have Fortune 500 boards reached a gender diversity plateau?

In part two of this video series with Jeffrey Sanders, vice chairman and co-managing partner of Heidrick & Struggles’ global board and CEO practice, we talk about the possible reasons why the number of women appointed to Fortune 500 boards slowed down last year. The conversation is based on statistics from Heidrick & Struggles’ latest Board Monitor report. Part three of this video series will look at trends in ethnic and racial diversity in the boardroom.
