A few years back, HKICPA’s A Plus magazine reported while women make up 52 % of entry-level positions in Hong Kong’s financial services sector, this falls to 33% at the senior management level and just 21% at the board level. This disparity raises important questions: what barriers prevent women from advancing to top positions at the same rate as their male colleagues? Research by McKinsey and Leanin.org suggests that the primary obstacle is not a glass ceiling but rather the "broken rung" on the corporate ladder. Addressing this issue is crucial for promoting gender equity in leadership roles.
At Moore Hong Kong, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that empowers women to ascend to leadership positions. One of our key initiatives is the Moore Leadhership1® programme, designed to support and elevate female leaders within our firm.
