We've partnered with the FTSE Women Leaders Review to conduct research into the role of the SID in FTSE 100 companies. It explores this key role and its place in the transition to Chair of the Board.
The research finds that holding a SID role prior to becoming Chair is valuable, regardless of gender. Developments need to be monitored to ensure gaining SID experience does not become a prerequisite for women while men are directly appointed Chair – especially since a substantial gender gap persists between the percentage of women and men progressing straight into Chair roles without prior SID experience, even if this proportion has been rising for women.
