Engaging, inspiring and retaining top female talent
2020 is the year many countries around the globe committed to achieving greater gender parity in the boardroom. But with the new year just around the corner, we need to face the reality that APAC is falling behind (China has just 11% female representation at the board level, Hong Kong 13% and Singapore 15%).
Our recent study highlighted that companies in Hong Kong stand to lose 45% of their female talent over the course of their careers. This represents a huge loss of talent potential that we must work to stem.
The University of Hong Kong and Meraki Executive Search & Consulting have expanded their partnership to deliver the 2020 WDP Series, supporting companies to shore up their female talent pipelines and enable women to reach their full potential in the workplace.
Take a look at our 2020 executive education programmes on offer:

Women's Development Programme 2020
The Women's Development Programme (WDP2) - launching in 2020 - is designed for high-potential female talent, supporting them during their transition from mid to senior management. All the research that has been conducted exploring the female talent pipeline, in addition to our own study, points to the fact that the first step up into management is a sticking point for female talent - the broken rung of the ladder.

Programme Modules:
Strategic Leadership
