Women's leadership gains stall amid politics and economic uncertainty · 1 source tracked

Progress for women in securing CEO positions and board seats within major U.S. companies has stalled, with the number of female CEOs in the Fortune 500 seeing a slight decrease. Similarly, the rate of increase for women on corporate boards has slowed to its lowest point in over a decade, and their share of new board appointments is also declining. Experts suggest that a perceived lack of urgency, coupled with a rollback of diversity initiatives and a cautious approach to succession planning amid economic uncertainty, is contributing to this plateau.
