“Our latest analysis reaffirms the strong business case for both gender diversity and ethnic and cultural diversity in corporate leadership— and shows that this business case continues to strengthen. The most diverse companies are now more likely than ever to outperform non-diverse companies on profitability.”
Diversity Wins: How Inclusion Matters - McKinsey & Co. May 2020

57% of women and 38% of men cite ‘bias among management’ as an obstacle for travel industry professionals to rise to the top according to the 2019 Phocuswright Gender Equity Study

“We see bright spots at senior levels. But companies need to focus their efforts earlier in the pipeline to make real progress.”
LEAN IN Study - Women in the Workplace 2018
“More senior leaders at companies—73%—say achieving equality for women in the workplace is a priority, up from 56% four years ago.​” ​
Vanessa  Fuhrmans, Oct. 15, 2019 ​ - The Wall Street Journal

“Research from Harvard Business School and other sources advises companies to recruit a diverse team and specifically ensure there is an environment where members feel comfortable and confident expressing their opinions. It’s critical that team members don’t feel intimidated in group sessions, allowing for their best thinking to come forward. Thus, I would expect diverse leadership teams to solve problems more effectively.”
Kweilin Ellingrud, Jan 20, 2019 - Forbes
