 The majority of people think big businesses do not take on enough female staff in board-level office jobs.According to a study from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (Bis), 60 per cent of people think that larger firms do not have enough women directors. Some two-thirds feel that companies are losing out on talent by having fewer women in senior office jobs. But while half of respondents believe there will be an equal balance between men and women in high-end office jobs within the next 20 years, in reality Bis said it will take 60 years for females to achieve the same level of representation. Unless a dramatic change in company boards comes about, Gordon Brown said the government will "need to consider taking more serious action to ensure companies recruit from the diverse pool of exceptional talent we have in the UK". Last month, the Office for National Statistics revealed that the pay gap between male and female employees has fallen to 22 per cent. Posted by Daniel Frost
