THERE'S SOO MANY DICKS! Seriously: did you know that men named Richard, Rick, or Dick (Dicks) outnumber women and diverse groups on public company boards? It's time to Change the Board Game. There are too many Dicks and not enough of everyone else. We combed through each board of directors of U.S. based companies on the NYSE and NASDAQ, all 36,957 existing board members across 4,429 publicly traded U.S. companies. The data is astounding: 🔍 There were 566 men named Richard, Rick, or Dick (Dicks) serving on these public company boards. 🔍 Black women and Asian women barely outnumber men named Dick, with only 806 Black Women, 774 Asian Women. 🔍 There were only 283 Hispanic Women on these same boards, only half the number of “Dicks”. At e.l.f. Beauty, inclusivity is a superpower. With our board leading the charge with 2/3 women and 1/3 diverse members, we're setting a new standard for corporate leadership. Join us in driving real impact and ensuring that corporate boards reflect the diverse world we live in. Learn more about the E.L.F. BEAUTY initiative here: https://lnkd.in/gWguvHwN

Age. Skills and experience. Tenure and independence … Our boards are a made up of a composite of these factors, so it’s important to look at their impact on the function and effectiveness of a company board. In our blog we look at the benefits to having multi-generational boards, the skills challenge on Australian boards, the different skillsets men and women bring to boards, whether Australian directors stay too long, and board independence.

Wow! What an incredible Leadership Panel hosted by Apay Obang-Oyway with Maria Purcell, Kevin Khan, Chris Perkins, Erika Brodnock MBE and Tim Griffin. What an amazing panel, with so many hard-hitting stories shared that frankly had us all mesmerised and moved to tears. Some of the key takeouts & quotes from this session that really got us thinking: “Stop seeing me as an ethnic minority. You’ll soon realise there’s nothing minor about me. Let’s stop labelling individuals as part of minorities, it can create beliefs that hold us back!” “Start to embrace relationships with people from different walks of life, cultural fit is developed, never just a given.” “As a black woman, it’s almost impossible for me to get skin cancer however there is more chance of me getting skin cancer than getting venture capital for a business” “Think about the way you write job descriptions…we block people, especially women. Does the role really require a degree? Let’s stop blocking our progress and unlock diversity by having more women and people of colour on our boards” And why should we stay committed to a DEI mission? “In two words: Untapped Potential” “It’s an economic winning strategy, but more importantly, we’re not done” #RaceToTechSummit #TC4RE
