  FT Women At The Top 2019

  The Landmark Hotel, London

  

   

   

     **The 30% Club is delighted to be supporting the 2019 FT summit**

   

  Join us in October for the return of the FT's summit on gender equality in business.

  30% Club members are entitled to a 15% discount to attend. Hear leaders share

  their stories of success and setbacks, learn from honest discussion about the

  obstacles stalling further progress, and take part in forward-looking, action-focused

  debate with the women and men driving change.
   

  The world is run by those with the most money and power, who for centuries have

  shaped hierarchies, cultural norms and the structure of how people live and work.

  Today, despite significant efforts from government and business to shift a greater

  share of money and power to women, this imbalance persists. The number of

  women at the top of FTSE 350 and S&P 500 companies has dropped in the last

  year, while the gender pay gap, investment gap and pensions gap all remain.

  Enforced transparency and societal pressure has brought hidden power inequalities

  to light and helped drive progress, but to achieve further meaningful change,

  business and policy leaders must show commitment to more action.The need for

  gender equality is widely accepted, yet progress on achieving this in

  the workplace is in danger of grinding to a halt.

Each of these three events attracted 250+ senior delegates.

  This year’s themes are:

  • What does the future of the financial services sector look like and what does this mean for the role of women? 
  • Two years since the launch of the HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter – how has it impacted men and women at all levels of leadership? 
  • Transforming culture - how can we effectively change the way we recruit, promote gender diversity across the company and the way we work together?
  • Gender pay gap reporting – what are reports showing?   
  • Examining barriers faced by female executives and exploring what can be done to overcome them
  • Female empowerment through the eyes of men - how we can make the finance industry better for women. Which initiatives in the UK and beyond have worked and which haven’t?  
  • Recruitment practices as one of the key areas inhibiting the progression of women in the industry. What needs to change for firms to meet their gender targets? How do millennials see diversity?
  • The impact of technology such as AI on the workplace and the structure of work
  • How could women benefit from the latest developments in technology? How do you attract female talent in fintech

  In October 2017 The Treasury Committee launched a new inquiry into Women in Finance focusing on HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter and the progress it has made. The Committee will seek to identify the barriers to women entering and progressing in the financial services industry and will examine the value to financial firms of having greater gender imbalance. It will also scrutinize the impact of Government and financial regulators as role models for good gender diversity practices.

  This high-profile forum builds on the success of the previous editions of the Women in Business and the Women in Finance summits, which both attracted 250+ senior delegates from across business, government and the regulatory community, both here and overseas.

  The conference will examine the role of the Government and financial regulators in addressing the imbalance of seniority between genders and determine what can be done to identify the barriers to women entering and progressing in the financial services sector.

  It will also review the progress made since the launch of the HM Treasury’s Charter and assess the impact the Charter has had on signatory companies, the benefits they are realising and the challenges the firms face in meeting their Charter commitments.

  Other topics include:

  • What is the UK Government’s strategy for ensuring that the potential of women in the boardroom and in the senior management of the financial services industry is being realised?
  • Enhancing female leadership, empowering productivity and harnessing the talents of women in financial services
  • Promoting “The Power of Equality” and moving towards closing “three Gs” – the participation gap, the remuneration gap and advancement gap
  • Gender Pay Regulations – what are the reports showing and what impact will they have on the financial services sector?
  • Aligning your passion with skill – what are the key components to a successful career in the financial services industry? Insights from successful women in the financial services world
  • What next? Moving forward and finding the ways to drive permanent and sustainable change across the financial services industry. Best practices to effectively engage men in implementation of your gender diversity programmes

  OMFIF Gender Balance Index Launch

  High Commission of Australia, London

  The 30% Club is delighted to support the OMFIF Gender Balance Index Launch (see further detail below)

  EVENT REGISTRATION
  If you'd like to register for the London event, please do so via this link. 
  If you'd like to register for the Singapore event, please do so via this link.

  GENDER BALANCE INDEX
  The annual Gender Balance Index tracks the presence of men and women in senior positions of public financial institutions globally, weighted by seniority.

  The 2017 report focused on central banks, showing that the sector is highly unbalanced when it comes to gender, with the disequilibrium becoming worse. The value of the overall index, which aggregates the performance of individual institutions weighted by their country's share of the global economy, stood at 30.6% in 2017 – a far cry from the 100% that would suggest a perfectly gender-balanced picture. 
  
  The 2018 edition of the Gender Balance Index expands the analysis to sovereign funds and public pension funds. We invite you to attend the launch of the 2018 findings which will be presented in both London and Singapore. Speakers include: Catherine Bradley, board member at the UK Financial Conduct Authority; Marc-Olivier Strauss-Kahn, director general of economics and international relations, Banque de France; Jorgovanka Tabaković, governor, National Bank of Serbia; and Anna Trzecińska, deputy president of Narodowy Bank Polski.

  Women at the Top Summit

  Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel

  

   

   

  The Financial Times & 30% Club invite you to join us for the next Women at the Top Summit - Transforming Leadership

  The 30% Club is delighted to announce that we will be partnering with the FT Women at the Top summit which returns in September to tackle one of the most complex challenges we face today: how to fix the gender imbalance in the top ranks of business in Britain and beyond.

  The composition of top UK management remains stubbornly uniform despite significant progress to make organisations more diverse and inclusive. The costs to companies and the economy of male dominated leadership are well documented. Yet many employers are still inadvertently turning away future leaders – male and female – by continuing business as usual.

  Join us to look at how leadership could be transformed over the next decade as the impact of policy changes becomes clear. Hear practical examples and insights from the most forward thinking business leaders, academics and policy makers tackling the gender imbalance and take part in action-focused debate to discover how you can effect change.

  We have negotiated a 15% discount only available to 30% Club members, a saving of £150 on a single ticket to this leading summit which can be activated by using the code 30CLUB when registering.  Further discounts are available for two or more bookings.

  SPEAKERS INCLUDE:
  Helena Morrissey CBE, Founder, 30% Club; Head of Personal Investing, Legal & General Investment Management
  Laszlo Bock, CEO, Humu; former SVP of People Operations, Google

  Women in Finance Awards

  Savoy, London

  The 30% Club is partnering with HM Treasury and the Women in Finance Charter for this awards event.

  Of all the industries in which women are poorly represented at a senior level, finance and financial services have the biggest challenge to address.Despite making up more than half the finance workforce, women continue to dramatically lag behind their male counterparts in leadership roles.“Women account for 23 per cent of board members and just 14 per cent of executive committee members across UK-regulated financial services companies. But this is nowhere near ideal.”The Women in Finance Awards is the finance industry’s largest diversity initiative, recognising the high-achievers, advocates, and role models for women in the sector.  Organised by GrowthBusiness.co.uk and What Investment magazine, we aspire to see gender balance at all levels in the world of finance. This isn’t just a matter of corporate responsibility; it’s a matter of national urgency.The event will bring together key stakeholders to raise awareness of the sector’s diversity problem, further the gender balance agenda, as well as to celebrate inclusion, leadership and finance excellence.The lack of women in this sector is already taking toll on financial institutions, and the time to address this is now. Join us on 29th June 2017 for an evening of celebration and dialogue at the inaugural edition of the Women in Finance Awards.  

  Nominations for the 2017 Women in Finance Awards will close on 28 February 2017.
  The Women in Finance Awards is open to advocates, supporters, and achievers in the world of finance, actively bridging the diversity gap in the sector. But for this initiative to be a resounding a success, we need to know who you believe the women and advocates that deserve recognition are.
  So we urge you to nominate someone – a colleague, partner, client, friend, whomever in finance – you feel should be celebrated on this very special evening.
  The judges will convene two weeks before the awards ceremony to review all of the shortlisted nominations. They will decide the winners based on written submissions, supporting materials and video assets, so please include as much information as possible within the word limit. Whether you’re nominating yourself, or someone you believe should win, please fill out the nomination form using the criteria (accessible via the link below) of the category most relevant to your entry. Remember, the judges will refer to each criteria to guide their decisions, so shape your entry accordingly. Each written submission should be at least 600 words and a maximum of 1,000 words. There is no cost to nominate, and you can enter as many categories as you wish.

  To nominate and for event information, please see more detail here.

  30% Club & KPMG Boardroom Mobility Breakfast Event

  Kindly hosted by KPMG, London

  In 2015, the Davies Review put forward its closing recommendations and suggested that cross-sector appointments could help to improve the gender and professional diversity of boards. The latest data from Cranfield University’s Female FTSE Report 2016 shows that while the percentage of women on FTSE 100 boards has increased to 26% and to 20.4% on the FTSE 250 boards this year, the percentage of new appointments going to women over the past six months is only 24.7%. This is the lowest since September 2011.
  
  Better gender diversity at board level is a priority for UK businesses and universities. While both sectors have made big improvements, there is much more to be done. So far there has been little research into the exchange of board-level talent between businesses and academia. In response, KPMG and the 30% Club commissioned Professor Simonetta Manfredi, Director of the Centre for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes University, to conduct a study into this issue.
  
  Professor Simonetta Manfredi will be presenting the compelling findings of this report at this event kindly hosted by KPMG. This will be followed by a panel discussion, where Simonetta will be joined by business leaders including Anne Richards, Chief Executive Officer at M&G Group PLC.

  Kindly hosted by Freshfields, London

  Theme: Ego & Eco Intelligence
  Keynote speaker: Sharon Oliver – Ashridge Executive Education. Sharon holds an MA in Organisational Psychology. Her key areas of specialisation include: Developing internal resourcefulness, Managing emotional diet, Building HR capacity, Managing polarities, Discovering success DNA, Mindfulness, EQ and SQ, The Levity effect (fun and Laughter at work), Heart Intelligence, Women in Global Leadership. She is a Master Practitioner in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).

  Rather than feeling that leaders have to have all the answers, and directing things from the outside through command and control, using their own ego strength and energy (ego-intelligent leaders), eco-intelligent leaders see themselves as catalysts within an inter-dependent eco-system. Sharon’s talk will explore how leaders can bring eco-intelligence to bear on their day-to-day work and create self-sustaining eco-systems where staff can find higher levels of self- expression and purpose.
