| Boardroom Door is Open to Women... According to new research by Executives Online, women looking to break through the glass ceiling into the boardroom should consider interim management opportunities as a way in.
The Results of the Study... Of interim managers working in the UK today, 15% are female. This figure has fluctuated somewhat, from 14% in 2007 to 18% in 2009. However, looking at the percentages of women employed in senior management and executive roles, it appears that interim management may actually offer more opportunities for women. A recent study by Cranfield University, the Female FTSE Report, tracked the progress of women on corporate boards and found 12.5% of FTSE 100 Directors in 2010 were women. When this is broadened to the FTSE 250, the picture worsens, with only 7.8% of board appointments held by women. Executives Online Franchise Opportunity for Women... Executives Online offers a unique franchise proposition for women seeking to build value in their own recruitment business. The company "takes its own medicine" as regards flexible executive resourcing and senior opportunities for women: the company's Managing Director is Anne Beitel, and Executives Online offers flexible working arrangements including telecommuting, work from home office, and flexible hours. The Equal Opportunities Commission has identified a dearth in flexible working at senior levels and is calling for more high quality, highly paid flexible work at all levels, including the highest ranks. Interim Management, and an Executives Online franchise, can offer just such work. Gwynneth Flower has worked in MD, CEO and chairman positions in both the public and private sectors, she comments, “I enjoy interim work enormously. You continuously face new challenges. There is an immense satisfaction when you see your advice and recommendations being used. Women can sometimes be too self-deprecating when it comes to business. They have an enormous amount to bring. I think with an injection of confidence they could reap the rewards of interim management.” As a female franchisee you can help encourage other women to have the confidence in themselves to take this step into the boardroom. Our Observations... Executives Online, the UK’s fastest growing interim management agency, operates a Talent Bank of over 100,000 senior executives spanning every job function and industry sector, yet it has noticed a significantly low percentage of women available for interim positions. "The nature of interim management should be very appealing to many women," explains Anne Beitel, Director of Executives Online. "It can be useful method from a number of perspectives. In some cases, it can lead to a permanent appointment into a senior role. It can also be less disruptive on women’s personal lives than a permanent corporate role and what’s more you get away from unproductive office politics, something lots of experienced women just can’t be bothered to waste their time with."
