Women on Boards - 2015 targets
This statement is in response to the 'Future Action' Lord Davies
has set out in his second annual review of Women on Boards with
respect to the percentage of women on the executive board and in
senior management.
Future actions
Rotork has long recognised the value of diversity in its
organisation and acknowledges and supports the initiatives set out
by Lord Davies in his report. Rotork anticipates that its
co-operation with numerous universities, apprenticeship schemes and
secondment programmes will lead to a better pipeline of appropriate
female executives increasing gender diversity at senior management
level. Recognising that these measures will take time to come to
fruition, Rotork acknowledges the need to take more immediate steps
to increase gender diversity and will take the following further
actions by September 2015:
1. Identify long-term talent needs for the future and create
appropriate roles in senior management which are attractive to both
genders;
2. Create appropriate conditions for skills gained in one
business area to be transferred into another in order to promote
the breadth of opportunities available to all employees, including
women;
3. Be prepared to consider a wider range of internal candidates
for senior management appointments including those with experience
in functions other than those which are, for example, directly
technical or sales related; and
4. Introduce senior women through external appointments on merit when appropriate.
It is anticipated that these additional actions together with
the actions being taken at the more junior levels described above
will make Rotork an employer women are attracted to by offering
visibility of career progression and success at the top of the
organisation.
Targets
Through the actions outlined above, Rotork is aiming to create a
more gender diverse pool of candidates from which to make senior
management appointments. By September 2015, Rotork will aim to:
1. Double its female representation on its executive board to
14% (based on the current size of the executive board); and
2. Increase female representation across other senior management
to a minimum of 15%, from the current position of zero, this being
a reflection of the internal and external recruitment challenges
for engineering companies seeking to appoint women into such
roles.
