No. The appointment process should be solely based on capability, not on gender, race, sexual orientation etc.

 @8TCCQ2Xanswered…3yrs3Y

This would only be ‘box ticking’. The real route of misogyny in the workplace must be tackled, which would then see a natural progression towards more women in senior roles

 @9KX2HS8answered…2wks2W

No, If businesses are stupid enough to willingly reduce their diversity then that will show in their productivity, and market viability.

 @9KSJ3LZanswered…3wks3W

Yes but there should also be focus on progression and development to support and encourage diversity

 @9H7YPJXanswered…4mos4MO

No but there should be substantial grassroots support to break down barriers to entry for women, the gender pay gap, and inequality of access.

 @9H7B7KDanswered…4mos4MO

No, the board members should be selected based solely on skill and inclusivity should never be forced up on

 @9BDPBDVanswered…12mos12MO

I think diversity is important, however you need to be qualified for the job. I believe diversity and discrimination is a big issue and we need to do more to make sure fair pay and job opportunity is there for everyone specially for women.

 @9B9ZR2Nanswered…12mos12MO

It should be the most qualified, but women need to be given the same opportunities as men to get to the same level.

 @9B84XHJanswered…12mos12MO

They're shouldn't be a board of derectors and if their was then men should always lead.

 @9B49R6Danswered…12mos12MO

Yes, but there should be a bigger push from grass routes to get women to the top. And not just given the job to tick a box

 @99ZCC3Nanswered…1yr1Y

Woman shouldn't be denied yet they should be there like everyone else was.

 @99V6CYLanswered…1yr1Y

No, board members should be competent regardless of gender. Being qualified does not mean you are competent.

 @99T8BSRanswered…1yr1Y

Subsidies or special tax advantages should be considered to help nudge companies toward choosing diverse boards.

 @99QYDG8answered…1yr1Y

It shouldn't be a requirement, but it should be encouraged, supported and advertised.

 @99D64CKanswered…1yr1Y

Yes and the government should do more to require diversity in the workplace for both sexes

 @98QCZDHLabouranswered…1yr1Y

it should be the most qualified/right for the job, but businesses should do more for diversity in the workplace

 @98MM7FVanswered…1yr1Y

They don't have to have women but if a women is qualified then she should be allowed

 @98MBV8Kanswered…1yr1Y

The most qualified for the job should be on the board, not matter the gender

 @96ZWVGCGreenanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, nepotism wins over meritocracy almost every time, the only way to get a fair level of diversity is by government mandate

 @96TC552Labouranswered…1yr1Y

It should be about how qualified you are regardless of gender but there should be diversity in the workplace in some way or another

 @96T78L5answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but from a pool of candidates otherwise suitably qualified for the role

 @96RC88Vanswered…1yr1Y

No as I think it is the wrong solution to a real problem. Companies and the government should work to promote diversity and equality across all workplaces but I dont think that this particular solution is the way forward.

 @96PCP5Lanswered…1yr1Y

No, but more support should be given to those from minority/disadvantaged groups to ensure they have equal opportunity; companies should also be given training to reduce their prejudices and be made aware of them.

 @96NS5NCanswered…1yr1Y

They should be required to at least interview women, people of colour etc.

 @96NNN8RLiberal Democratanswered…1yr1Y

No but more should be done to support women in all areas of business eg better maternity rights

 @96H8DWDanswered…1yr1Y

Best person for the Job. Shouldn't be given anything based on gender

 @96DYDMPanswered…1yr1Y

No, there should just be less men, buissnesses shouldn't exist, along with government and capitalism

 @969CBTRanswered…1yr1Y

If they are qualified and experienced, then there's no reason why not.

 @962548Sanswered…1yr1Y

Individuals should be on director boards based on their ability and not determined by their gender

 @95YSZZ8answered…2yrs2Y

You should pick the best person for the job but also, Challenge your own biases against women.

 @95X567Fanswered…2yrs2Y

Hire the most qualified person but the panel deciding that cannot take gender into consideration

 @95SJTZTanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes and No. It should be the most qualified by women are often shunned and given less chances to get the qualifications neccesary.

 @95J2NDBanswered…2yrs2Y

Where two candidates are equal, favour the woman if women are underrepresented in senior roles within the company
