The FTSE Women Leaders Review is the UK government-backed, business-led voluntary initiative focused on increasing the representation of women on Boards and Leadership Teams.
Over the last 3 years, the Watches of Switzerland Group have made significant progress having moved up the ranks considerably which recognises their focus and action. This is a testament to their commitment to being a great place to work, and to fostering an inclusive environment and living their values of respect, transparency, and equal opportunity. In the last financial year, 49% of their group promotions and 54% of their new hires were female based on merit, fair processes and more development opportunities.
