    International Women’s Day not being celebrated as it should be at Heartland. Hopefully a reminder to the Board and Leadership team that to achieve credibility action needs to follow rhetoric.

    One area where Heartland don’t do what they say they will do

    Directors Ellie and Vanessa must be getting frustrated with progress

    Hopefully the Wimmins are in the kitchen making morning tea for all the staff to help celebrate. My preference though, is that rather than celebrate during work time they keep on doing the job they are paid to do

    Couldn't agree more minimoke. All positions should be on merit, not whether you are male or female.

    Agree horus

    But whatbEllie and Vanessa are trying to do at Heartland is change the way that ‘merit’ is judged.....ie eliminate that view that females generally need ‘heaps more merit’ than a male to be called equal

    Merit and competency aren't hard things to judge and don't need sub-committees to over complicate. All you do is look at achievements. Its not what a person could do, its what a person has proven to have done.

    Interesting article that some of the more enlightened forum members might find interesting. Even has some actual facts

    The Legacy of "Fearless Girl" One Year Later

    Extract -

    The table above illustrates that companies with gender-balanced boards tend to generate higher price returns, return on equity, and return on invested capital and experience lower volatility. This data is consistent with our findings from the previous year and the differences are sharpest when comparing companies without female board members and with more than 40% female board members. We also discovered that companies with gender diverse boards pay more dividends than our other buckets.

    Apart from the patronising title "fearless Girl" I find this sexist approach to diversity quite discriminatory. I would much prefer that Boards ensure 41% of their constituency have no religious affiliation as this will better reflect NZ society.
