More than 60 per cent of Canadian companies have boards composed entirely of men GlobeBusiness

Among more than 31,200 director seats, 18.1 per cent were held by women in 2017, a “slight increase” from 17.8 per cent in 2016, Statscan noted. The majority of corporate boards in Canada had zero women , while 27.7 per cent had one female director and the remaining 11.1 per cent of boards had more than one.

“If only 20 per cent of newly available positions are filled by women, it simply doesn't move the needle very much in any significant direction,” said Beatrix Dart, a professor of strategic management and the executive director of the Initiative for Women in Business at the Rotman School of Management.

Government business enterprises continue to have the highest levels of female representation, with women occupying 35.2 per cent of director positions in 2017, up from 27.7 per cent in 2016.

globebusiness How is this a bad thing?

globebusiness Another dumb-ass story I wont read.

globebusiness And I was optimistic that the Globe was different than CBC - go ahead keep dwelling on things we already know ans heard.

globebusiness Who they appoint is their business. Giving priority to an individual based on their gender is short-sighted, whether its male or female. And the government has no business forcing their 'agenda' on private businesses. We are not North Korea.

globebusiness Did you assume the gender

globebusiness Love it!

globebusiness So what? Placing people into jobs and positions merely to fill quotas only means the jobs arent done by the best people. Hire based on merit only.

globebusiness Are they successful...🤔

globebusiness And this is a problem because?

globebusiness Surely that is business of the shareholders ONLY and not 'interventionists' like the Globe Editorial Board! terencecorcoran CatherineBizTV AndrewBellBNN ConradMBlack levinepmc

globebusiness Well then that calls for incompetent quota picks....just like Trudeau's cabinet.cndpoli

globebusiness What if this 60% identify as “women” ? Did you ask them their genders ? What if they identify as “gender neutral” ? Then technically it would be unbalanced as 40% do not 🤔

globebusiness As a man that's not on a board, I dont feel represented regardless

globebusiness 99%+ of sewer workers are men - is that a problem

globebusiness Alternative narrative: Dedicated, hard working men, driven to succeed, have sacrificed personal time and relationships to achieve great success.

globebusiness I guess women should step their game up!

globebusiness The Globe & Mail... 😂😂🤣

globebusiness Who cares

globebusiness Is it a problem that the crews we have working in -30 and -40 are all male? Yeah didn't think so. Most probably don't have someone who self identifies as a pan sexual paraplegic dumpling either. Time for forced gender balance. Forget choice, performance or freedom.

globebusiness So the old 'news barrel' was dry so you dug round in the recycling bin for something you could polish and post as new?

globebusiness they are NOT MEN!!! They are PEOPLEKIND!!!! GET IT RIGHT !!!!

globebusiness So what? I'm a woman and I don't care. You're not giving a fair overview of these companies and their businesses.

globebusiness So what.

globebusiness The following criteria must be met for boards.. Every culture on the planet should be represented as an individual, and the board must be large enough to accommodate it. The board will be decided by NDP as it appoints each person. Experience and ability are irrelevant.

globebusiness Lol who cares. As long as they are qualified. Much like surgeons and firefighters etc I want the best human for the job, not the one with the right percentage of genitalia.

globebusiness So?

globebusiness Why should the split be equal? People should have a job or position based on qualification not gender, gender is a meaningless concept for most job considerations, at least it should be. The split could be 80% W, 20% M, and same comment would apply.

globebusiness Because they care about best person for the job. Not what body part you have between your legs.

globebusiness We are told by media, that there are now 112 human genders - so please define what 'composed entirely of men' means.

globebusiness Ride’s almost over, boys.
