Late mentoring for women hampering diversity efforts says O2 Director of Human Resources

Britain’s bosses must begin mentoring female staff at a much more junior level if it is to see an improvement in gender diversity.

That’s according to O2 Director of Human Resources and HR Grapevine Advisory Board member, Ann Pickering.

“I’m not a believer in quotas. I don’t know any women who want to be promoted because of their gender. They want to be promoted because of their ability. To do that there are various things you can do.”
