It is essential to consider gender diversity at every level if organisations are to have a sufficient pool of female talent to choose from for international assignments. A survey for The RES Forum annual Report found that more than 50%of organisations found it hard to find suitable female candidates for international assignments, and 40% found it hard to motivate women to accept foreign postings. What can organisations do to redress this balance? How might recent socio-economic developments such as the UK leaving the EU and the election of Donald Trump to the White House affect diversity and inclusion practices within global organisations and how can your organisation be prepared to manage the change?

Presented by Andy Piacentini, Head of Reward at Standard Life and founding partner at the RES Forum hosted the session exploring these issues.
