(STAND TO REASON) -- An article in Fast Company titled “Can Tech Companies Continue to Innovate with No Women At the Table?” argues that businesses are harming themselves by not having both men and women on their boards.
Many are concerned about this right now, including Norway, which has passed laws enforcing 40% female boards in companies. Supporters of gender diversity have been quoted as saying, “In my experience, mixed teams, mixed by gender, ethnic background, by age and experience, perform better than homogeneous teams,” and, “[W]hen you start using the half of the talent you have previously ignored, then everybody gains.”
