4. BIRDS
OF
A
FEATHER
FLOCK
TOGETHER
It
is
human
nature
to
choose
people
who
resemble
ourselves
as
co-­‐
workers.
Unconscious
bias
against
anything
that
seems
unfamiliar
kicks
in
during
recruitment
and
promo>on
processes.

12. REACHING
TOP
LEVELS
• Interna>onal
organiza>ons
are
increasingly
using
execu>ve
search
companies
• This
is
not
necessarily
an
advantage,
since
private
companies
do
not
have
the
same
formal
responsibility
as
the
public
sector
to
achieve
equality
and
diversity
• Execu>ve
search
companies
are
used
to
opera>ng
in
a
male/ethnically
homogenous
sphere
and
D&I
training
is
scarce
• It
is
hard
for
women
to
be
selected
for
top
posts
when
both
the
search
company
and
the
hiring
managers
are
male
oriented

13. POLICY
FOR
CHANGE
–
LINKS
TO
SOCIAL
MEDIA
The
Equality
and
Human
Rights
Commission
(Great
Britain)
has
recommended
that
the
selec>on
process
for
execu>ve
boards
should
be
made
more
"transparent,
professional
and
rigorous"
to
allow
chairmen
and
search
agencies
to
appoint
more
women
to
boardroom
roles
and
to
encourage
more
women
to
apply
for
these
posi>ons.

prospects
of
indigenous
peoples,
afro-­‐descendants
and
other
ethnic/racial

adrac>ng
and
retaining
a
diverse
workforce,
and
take
concrete,
measurable
steps.
