Forget girl power, New Zealand’s lack of female representation at the highest level of business is stunting performance and shows a lack of professionalism in the boardrooms of some of the country’s key economic drivers.
 
Women’s Affairs minister Pansy Wong says the launch of the Women On Boards business case is an example of government and business working together to boost gender diversity in Kiwi boardrooms.

New Zealand women make up 46% of the workforce, but just 8.65% of directorships on the NZX top 100.
