RBS: A third of top management roles to be held by women by 2020

Royal Bank of Scotland has set a new target for a third of top management positions to be held by women by 2020.

The aimwill be applied throughout the company, and aims to tackle the imbalance between men and women in senior positions. Currently, 54% of the bank’s workforce is female; however women are consistently more likely to hold clerical roles than men, currently making up two thirds of such positions.

However, these ratios are reversed at more senior levels.
