Should businesses be required to have women on their board of directors?

No, but the government should incentivize diversity. Carrot as opposed to stick.

Yes, but transition to worker co-ops should be strongly encouraged and supported.

Yes, not only.women but diversity should be required and minorities represented.

Require no but provide incentives very much so yes

Yes, if they are matching requirements for position eg.education level, experience and other much needed skills

No, provide more incentives for women to want to join businesses they are underrepresented in instead

Only if she is good at her job

Size of the company should be taken into account, and the binary of men and women is harmful

i don’t believe there should be a board of directors (dedicated to ensuring shareholder profits) at a company.

Not required but at least give the same chance to everyone and if you are good enough you should be able to be on the board.

Women should be considered directors and should be given the chance if they are good for the job. Even though the word requiere it’s not quite the word it should be something many companies should consider more.

No, but business should be controlled by their workers instead of executives.

Only when it's done like affirmative action

No the position should be granted by merit not gender

I feel the individual should be qualified for the position

No, women should not be allowed to work

Companies that have only men for long periods of time should come under some type of scrutiny.

No, women don't belong in such a role

No, but companies of a certain size or above should be required to interview diverse candidates of multiple genders, ethnic backgrounds, etc. (see the Rooney Rule in NFL)

No, there should be no legal requirement but the government should do more to increase diversity

No, women don't belong in the workplace

How does the presence of diverse gender identities in a workplace impact team creativity and problem-solving?

Have you ever witnessed or experienced how gender diversity influences leadership styles within an organization?

In what ways do you believe gender-inclusive policies can affect an organization's culture and employee satisfaction?

How do you think the approach to gender diversity in workplaces has changed over the last decade?

Why is it important for companies to reflect gender diversity in their marketing and product development?

What challenges do you think employers face when trying to create a gender-diverse workplace, and how can they overcome them?

What measures do you think are most effective in promoting and supporting gender diversity in traditionally male or female-dominated fields?

while I am in full support of diversity and incorporating more women into businesses and women having higher positions, I think someone should be hired based on if they are qualified or not.

No, I support equality of opportunity not equality of outcomes. People hired/promoted should be the most qualified regardless of gender.

No, they should be democratically elected

yes, if they earn the spot and the same goes for a male

depends on the job and if they are qualified for the job

No, We should defiantly encourage it using social programs, but we cannot force it

No, but more should be done to incentivize businesses to diversify their board of directors and workplace

No, but businesses should diversify anyway.

No, but both genders should be given equal opportunity if they qualify for the position

No, but they should be incentivized to have women on the board.

No, but there must be a diverse selection committee to be sure that the business does not become patriarchal.

No, positive discrimination is still discrimination. Forced diversity is insincere and not at all reflective of the internal operations of businesses. Board members should always be the most qualified regardless of anything else.

From your perspective, what role does education play in preparing future professionals for a gender-diverse workplace?

If they are both just as qualified and one is a woman or other minority then pick the woman. If the man is more qualified then pick the man.

Any department that the business cannot be without for a week (or without a serious backlog of things to do) should be represented on their boards of directors. It's called workplace democracy.

It is up to the business.

No, however there should be more measures to include women to positions of power

Yes, if they are a publicly owned and traded company.

There should be affirmative action for women & minorities the same way it usually works, which would ensure both that there would be women on boards AND that board members would be the most qualified regardless of gender...

Indifferent because men and women should be shown equally.

i think it really depends on the company but people should be given positions because they're good at the job not because of their race or gender

Board members should be democratically elected representatives by the workers.

The government cannot mandate a gender ratio for private companies, but it can and should encourage gender diversity by mandating increased transparency in hiring and employment at all levels.

Yes, so long as they meet the proper experience and background checks

I think that businesses should let women be on the board of directors, but it doesn't have to be required.

It should not be a requirement, however, diversity should be encouraged.

there should be no discrimination between gender, but the most qualified should be the one holding any position no matter gender or what the position is

It should be representative of the business' employees and clientele. If it is a company made up of only men and the clientele is specifically male, then no.

Yes, as long as the person is qualified

No, not necessarily required but they should have gender equality at all levels.

No, shouldn’t be required to have a women on board.

No, businesses should be able to be solely either gender if desired.

No, but reward boards that are diverse.

Should not be required. However, women should gets judged the same as men based on qualifications when filling these positions.

No, but businesses should hire more women.

Not require it but hire more women.

No company should have a board

It should be incentivized by the market because of the diverse board's ability to acquire more consumers.

who's on the board should only be based on experience and ability

I think that the board members should have people who deserve it regardless of gender, race, sexuality, and whatnot but, I do think that there should be more female board members.

regardless corporations should be collectivized

No, but we need to increase education and job opportunities for women and minorities so they have a level playing field. Naturally, they will fall into leadership positions as long as we lift the restrictions they have.

there should be more representation of women leaders but they shouldn't be picked just based on gender

No, but more should be done to encourage diversity

No a woman's place is at home being an educator of her children

No a woman's place is at home being the main educator of her children

No a women should educate children as well as work in the home and community not worry themselves with the cooperate world

No a women should educate children as well as work in the home and community not worry themselves with Jobs outside the home

No, as forced diversity for its own sake does not actually show that a company is progressive.

Yes Only with hard work and effort.

No, but give marginalized groups more opportunities to advance in their job

Women should not be allowed in the board of directors. These are stressful jobs better handled by men.

No, but if a man OR woman has the capability to be on the board of directors they should.

yes, especially when dealing with women's rights.

It doesn't have to be required, but it should definitely be allowed.

No but they should have some without being required.

No, but the government should work to fight workplace discrimination in other ways

1. It depends on the business 2. The larger the business, the more diversity required.

if women have the ability to serve in that board.

Yes if they're qualified for the job

No, position in a company should be based on experience and qualifications, not gender

The presence of women does not itself effect equality

Yes, but only because the current opportunity for men and women to elevate themselves in the workplace and is unequal, favoring men. Once this and the campaign for equal pay is resolved, then it is not necessary.

no but thy should try to diversify their business as it would probably help them

I don't think it should be required, it should be expected to have a diverse board of directors.

yes and no it really just depends on how they do there job.

No, but they should willingly have women on their board of directors

It’s whatever the business wants

No, but they should willingly let women on their board of directors

Yes, but only if the woman is undeniably qualified.

No, but they should willingly allow women on their board of directors
