Women in the workplace

A few key reports covering the UK have been published this week. The Business, Innovations and Skills Committee has published a 3 volume report on women in the workplace: HC 342. This  covers a wide range of issues including pay, equality discrimination. The second and third volumes have oral and written evidence from organisations and researchers: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmselect/cmbis/342/34202.htm 

Also this week the Conservative women’s forum published a report “Executive Women in the Workplace Inquiry: Building the Executive Pipeline of Talent”.
This inquiry investigated and made recommendation on how the number of women top executive board members could be increased.
