Many leaders care about gender diversity — at least they say they do. LinkedIn research shows that 78% of talent professionals say that diversity is a top hiring priority for their company and gender diversity in particular is the number one issue they’re tackling in this area.

Based on several studies at LinkedIn.
November 28, 2019
Summary.
Many leaders care about gender diversity. And there has been some progress in getting more women into all levels of organizations but they remain underrepresented. To explore the disconnect between leaders’ intentions and true progress on closing the gender gap, LinkedIn undertook several studies around gender and work over the past year. The data revealed several recruiting strategies that can help companies bring in more women today, such as making job posting more inclusive, and attract more female candidates in the future, such as expanding your early-in-career talent funnel to focus on recruiting from a broader set of schools and organizations.
