Grant Thornton’s Women in Business International Business Report, released this week, shows that the percentage of businesses in Botswana with at least one woman in senior management stands at 72%, a step closer to the global percentage of 87%.

Lorato Mosetlhanyane who is a Professional Integral Coach (PCC) at PinnaLead said the figures were encouraging and a strong indication that gender parity is starting to be taken seriously by businesses.
