When we signed up to the Charter in September 2020, our representation of women stood at 30%. As of August 28, 2024, that percentage has increased to 35.5% across our overall workforce, with 22.58% at the senior leadership level (Managing Principal and above*).
We have put significant focus on attracting and developing our women in order to meet our target of 30% of senior leaders being women by 2025. However, that target will not be achieved, in part due to some attrition but also operational factors (as follow). Our commitment to retaining women at senior leadership level and creating opportunities for progression have seen a number of women move into more senior global roles. We have also provided global mobility opportunities for a number of other senior women. This has removed those women from this report’s UK-centric data set.
We remain committed to achieving our 2025 target of 50% women Associates with active hiring taking place at this level.
Below are our main areas of focus in increasing female representation across the workforce:
Increasing diversity in leadership pipeline. We launched our inaugural global women’s leadership development program. The program included nearly 50 women leaders from across the firm who were selected to participate in the program.
Data-informed leadership teams. Diversity insights for senior leaders are delivered monthly to offer decisionmakers access to current information, including workforce representation data, along with progress against targets and other employment actions by demographic group.
Positioning Capco as an employer of choice for women. To amplify our employer brand and increase diversity within candidate pools, we have partnered with several organizations that focus exclusively on increasing gender representation and improving workplace experiences for women across financial services industry.
