The Glass Elevator

The conversation continues around the world stressing the importance of women’s participation in the workforce and women’s presence in leadership and decision making roles. The discussion is no longer about equity alone. 
As we grapple with the pace of change, with the need to adapt to the uncertainty and the desire to take advantage of the opportunities, there is an understanding that we cannot afford to waste the talent that exists in the female population. In spite of technological advances, countries around the world will be relying on their people, their innovation, courage and resilience, to have create and realise new opportunities for sustainable and shared prosperity. And so it follows that we must invest in our people to ensure innovation and increased productivity. 

Hence Pottinger is proud to support women and its pro bono Glass Elevator Initiative: to connect, inspire and engage women. 

Pottinger is joined by our proud corporate sponsors Asciano, Unilever Australia, Microsoft Australasia, Qantas and Jetstar.

Pottinger is also proud to continue to support women through the development of Pottinger Index.  Pottinger Index creates indices to quantify and measures progress towards achieving goals related to diversity, social impact and sustainability. Pottinger Index offers highly sophisticated, statistically robust, independently calculated measures of progress towards achieving the most important of society’s goals.  In 2014 Pottinger Analytics launched the ASX200 Board Diversity Index as part of its Equality Day Series:  www.pottingerindex.com
