schillingreport 2016 gender diversity 5 A Breakdown of Gender Diversity by Sector | 5.2 The Percentages of Women in the Individual Sectors Professional Services CEO EB Senior management Middle Management 0 % 8 % 21 % 27 % The proportion of women in the heterogeneous professional services sector is 50% in the total Swiss workforce. Senior management is 21% and middle management is 27% female. These are both above average figures. By contrast, the proportion of women on the executive boards (8%) is slightly below the average in the overall sample. None of the 5 companies in this industry cluster have a women as CEO or supervisory board president. With just 4% of supervisory board members in the professional services sector being women, the proportion is very low on these strategic management boards. General workforce 50 % Transport/Logistics CEO EB Senior management Middle Management General workforce 17 % 11 % 21 % 18 % 34 % At the 6 participating companies in the transport and logistics sector, the share of women in the workforce (34%) is slightly below average, but there is an above average number of women in management. One of the 6 CEOs is a woman – Susanne Ruoff of Swiss Post. This therefore represents 17% of the CEOs. On the executive boards, the share of women is 11%, while senior managers represent 21% and middle managers 18%. Therefore, the pipeline indicates an atypical expansion toward the top in comparison to the other industries. Women also have above-average representation on the industry’s supervisory boards, with 22% of all members and 1 of the 6 presidents being female. Real Estate CEO EB Senior management Middle Management General workforce 0 % 3 % 19 % 45 % 35 % Of all of the industry clusters surveyed, the real estate business has the highest share of women in middle management (45%), which is well above the proportion in its general workforce (35%). Women represent 19% of senior managers and 3% of executive board members. There are no female CEOs in the sector. The pipeline of women at real estate companies therefore tapers off more toward the top than in other sectors. There are no female supervisory board presidents in the real estate sector, while 13% of the board members are women. 16 schillingreport 2016 gender diversity | A Comparison of the Gender Mix at Swiss Companies © 2016, guido schilling ag
5 A Breakdown of Gender Diversity by Sector | 5.2 Percentages of Women in the Individual Sectors Manufacturing Industry CEO EB Senior management Middle Management General workforce 0 % 4 % 12 % 16 % 23 % This cluster includes the machinery, electronics and metal industries, the precision industry and industrial construction suppliers. On the one hand, these companies have a very low proportion of women in the general workforce, or 23%. However, in middle management (16%) and senior management (12%) the industry cluster approaches the average percentage of the overall sample. In the manufacturing industry, 4% of executive board members are women, while none of the companies has a woman as CEO. This is characteristic of the pipeline for women at industrial companies: a smaller percentage in the general workforce that nonetheless tapers off less sharply toward the top than in other sectors. Therefore, Swiss industrial enterprises have had relative success in tapping their potential for developing internal talent by comparison with other sectors. However, a further increase in gender diversity will require an increase in the percentage of women in middle management. There are no female supervisory board presidents in the manufacturing industry, while 9% of all supervisory board members are women. Life Sciences CEO EB Senior management Middle Management General workforce 0 % 11 % 21 % 33 % 38 % The life sciences sector, which includes chemical, pharmaceutical, medical technology and biotechnology companies, has a workforce that is 38% female, which is about average. At 33%, the number of women in middle management of the life sciences sector is high. In senior management, the share of women is also above average at 21%. On the executive boards, 11% of the members are women, while there is no female CEO in the life sciences sector. There are very good conditions established in the sector to consistently promote talented women in middle management and bring them into senior management and onto the executive boards. Women represent 19% of supervisory board members in the life sciences, while there are no female SB presidents. Retail/Consumer Goods CEO EB Senior management Middle Management General workforce 0 % 9 % 16 % 23 % 55 % This industry cluster includes retail trade, food and other consumer goods enterprises. This cluster stands out with a higher share of women in the workforce than all of the other sectors (55%). The proportion of women on the executive boards (9%), in senior management (16%) and in middle management (23%) is very close to the average of the participating companies of all the sectors. None of the CEOs in the retail/consumer goods sector are women. The pipeline for female talent is very typical: It tapers off significantly toward the top of the hierarchy. Women represent 14% of supervisory board members, while all of the supervisory board presidents are men. schillingreport 2016 gender diversity | A Comparison of the Gender Mix at Swiss Companies © 2016, guido schilling ag 17
