The document discusses the lack of women on corporate boards in the UK and proposes solutions to address it. It notes that as of 2011, only 12.5% of board seats in FTSE 100 companies were held by women. However, research shows that companies with more gender-diverse boards see improved performance and decision-making. The document advocates developing solutions at the company level such as removing barriers, promoting flexibility, and implementing training and mentoring programs to help increase the number of women in leadership positions and on boards.
