Moves Analysis - 2016

Moves Analysis 2016

The analysis of over 1200 reported moves added to the Industry Moves online database in 2016 shows a healthy flow of appointments, including many for newly-created positions. Those looking for improvement in the gender diversity issue on Australia's boards will be disappointed, however, as the three year comparison analysis shows that the percentage of women appointed to new board positions in 2016 dipped well below that of 2015.
