Research has demonstrated the link between diversity and improved performance-yet many boards across Europe are still working their way towards parity. After several years in the spotlight, gender diversity especially runs the risk of conversation fatigue. So how are today's most progressive directors and board chairs approaching the issue in 2020? In this episode, David Tyler, Chairman, Hammerson plc, and Domestic & General Group, outlines three reasons why board diversity is so important-particularly in light of recent corporate crises and governance failures. Tyler also touches on the role of the board chair in driving diversity of all kinds in today's boardrooms.
