Survey finds more women in business locally

Monday, March 17, 2014

A Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR) survey of women in business has revealed that 24% of businesses in Botswana have women on their boards or as company overseers such as CEOs and chief financial officers, up from 20% in 2013.

Released last week, the report ranked Botswana 14th among the 45 countries participating in the IBR survey this year. The IRB also found that in Botswana women in the most senior roles in companies remained at 32% between 2013 and 2014.

“Botswana businesses will see the benefit of widening their net as tapping into more candidates means higher chances of recruiting star performers,” the Grant Thornton report reads.
