Firms out of step with management
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Men and women in management are becoming more equal, and the real gap is between managers, companies and the way their organisations operate, a survey claimed yesterday.
The Institute of Management said its survey of 1,800 people showed that companies were generally "out of step" with their managers. Only 15 per cent of those surveyed said their firms encouraged staff participation, while one in three complained that their organisation was too bureaucratic.
The survey showed that 80 per cent of managers believed they received equal treatment regardless of their sex and the "old boy network" was less of a barrier to promotion for women than in the past. A spokeswoman for the institute said it was "pleasantly surprised" at the apparent equality between men and women managers in the workplace. Michael Streeter
