I have a new boss. He's reshuffled his senior team and there are now fewer women in key roles and decision-making groups. It's a source of long-stanging ill feeling with many of my female colleagues. We discussed it and he says it doesn't matter as much as I think it does, that he's a really fair person. I managed to land a couple of points about the importance of role models - younger women being able to see "people like me" in senior roles - and how its not good enough to do the right thing, you have to be seen to do the right thing & balanced committes etc show that. He's the kind of person who responds really well to evidence. Can anyone point to resources and research evidence which demonstrste the importance of this?
