UK: CIPD calls for new board diversity targets

In its Manifesto for Work, published today, the CIPD has called on the Government to set new boardroom diversity targets: see here (pdf). The CIPD advocates a 2020 target of 40% for female non-executives and 20% female executive directors amongst FTSE100 companies. It also calls for greater information to be provided by companies in respect of how people are managed, led and developed.
