The Government commissioned the Hampton-Alexander review to look into ensuring women at the top of business are recognised, promoted and rewarded. The Hampton-Alexander Review target is for 33% of board positions of FTSE 350 companies to be held by women by the end of 2020. On 27 June 2018, the BEIS and Government Equalities Office published a press release on FTSE 350 companies' progress in meeting this target. The press release encourages companies to speed-up their progress in order to achieve this target.
The 2018 Hampton-Alexander Review will be published on 13 November 2018. We discussed the 2017 Hampton- Alexander Review and its supplementary report in the January 2018 edition of this newsletter.
