Did you know that in Mexico women are sweeping the top management positions? Yes, just like you hear!
A Grant Thornton study reveals an increase in the participation of women in senior management positions, reaching an impressive 38%. This not only reflects remarkable progress for Mexico, placing it at the forefront of Latin America, but also highlights its position on the global stage.
Mexico leads in Latin America
Mexico is positioned as the leader in Latin America in terms of female inclusion in senior management positions, surpassing countries such as Argentina. This progress is a reflection of the growing recognition of the value and leadership capacity of women in the business world.
Global and regional comparison
Globally, Mexico ranks 11th, sharing similar figures with Spain and surpassing countries such as the United States. This achievement is indicative of Mexico's progressive efforts towards greater gender equality in business leadership.
Progress is still slow
With an overall increase of only half a percentage point, the need for more decisive action and effective strategies to achieve true gender parity in senior management is evident.
Implications of telework and labor flexibility
The pandemic has revealed the positive impact of telework on the inclusion of women in leadership positions. Flexible and hybrid work models have proven to be beneficial in increasing female representation at the highest levels of management.
Actions to promote gender parity
Grant Thornton recommends several actions to foster diversity, including job flexibility, purposeful attitudes, transparency, informed action and constant adjustments. These strategies are key to building a more inclusive and equitable business environment.
