Neue Zürcher Zeitung – Manufacturers Need to Look Further Afield for Top Female Talent

The share of women on boards in Switzerland is growing, but there is still room for improvement, reports the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Egon Zehnder’s Simone Stebler acknowledges that it is harder for manufacturers to find female board members, but insists that there are enough qualified women out there to fill the vacant positions. According to Stebler, manufacturers may just need to broaden their search for talent by looking outside their branch.
