Women on boards are good for business

Ministry of Women’s Affairs,

Whether in difficult or prosperous economic times, every business in New Zealand looks for a competitive edge.

An outstanding competitive advantage is there for the taking – the talents and leadership abilities of women at board level.

This is the conclusion of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, which has developed the report 'Women on Boards: Why women on company boards are good for business' with the support of Business New Zealand and the Institute of Directors in New Zealand.

The evidence shows that women directors can help companies gain competitive advantage and increase profits, and that companies that have women on their boards outperform those that do not.

The report presents evidence on the benefits and considers practical ways that companies can gain from a richer mix on the board.
