Let's Close the Power Gap!

Hear about the latest facts & figures in the development of gender equality in Swiss Business. Tap into new insights and new best practices! Benefit from hands-on recommendations and exchange with experts, peers, and our great community.

As we know from our previous reports, there is a considerable gap between women and men in roles with decision-making power and high influence. But how big is the power gap really? Are there different types of power? How does it translate to other gaps? What are the reasons for the discrepancies and why is it imperative to consciously drive change in the current power dynamics? Find out and join the conversation at the launch!

Unique Data Set

This report is a key component of the Advance program, serving not only as a data tool but as a practical guide to companies that want to accelerate change. The methodology was developed by Prof. Dr. Gudrun Sander and Dr. Ines Hartmann’s team at the Competence Center for Diversity & Inclusion (CCDI) at the University of St. Gallen.

For the 2024 report, we analyzed HR raw data from 370,000 anonymized employees (more than 138,000 in management positions) across 90+ companies – a unique database in Switzerland in terms of quantity and quality.
