Perrett Laver Amsterdam have won the Executive Search Award 2023 last week for their commitment to advancing gender diversity.

 

The Talent to the Top Monitor evaluates the progress of women’s representation at the top, middle management, and throughout the organisation among the charter signatories of which Perrett Laver have been a part of since 2021. These signatories commit to specific, measurable goals, with their results reviewed annually by the independent Talent to the Top Monitoring Committee. They also pledge to implement measures that increase the proportion of women in leadership positions within their organisations.

 

Along with tracking the growth in the proportion of women in leadership roles, it also examines the efforts these organisations are making to promote women’s advancement. Additionally, it identifies the key success factors and challenges they encounter in achieving their goals.

 

Alongside the award Country Manager for Amsterdam, Dr Lisbeth Van Cauwenberghe and Regional Managing Partner for Europe Josephine Scholten spoke about the commitment to diversity in all its form in our everyday work.

Our commitment to Diversity


Perrett Laver is committed to promoting diversity in top positions, focusing on diversity in its broadest sense. After all, diverse teams are higher-performing teams. We take pride in the fact that, for many years, approximately 50% of the candidates we place have been women. Perrett Laver has also signed the “Executive Search Code” of Talent to the Top.

As part of this commitment, we seek to include at least 30% female candidates in our searches. We actively seek out candidates by leveraging our networks and conducting systematic, in-depth research. This approach allows us to break away from conventional paths and focus on identifying and introducing new, diverse talent.

What do we deliver?


We are immensely proud that, since its inception in 2015, Perrett Laver Amsterdam has consistently achieved its goal of placing approximately 50% female candidates. Together with our clients, we are committed to developing recruitment processes that enhance diversity and inclusiveness. At Perrett Laver, we believe that a broad range of perspectives is crucial to an organization’s legitimacy, effectiveness, and competitiveness.

Through our search and consulting efforts, we actively work to build stronger leadership teams and promote organizational resilience by bringing together diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. In short, we strive to create leadership teams that are truly diverse.

What does the Executive Search Code mean to you?

The Executive Search Code acknowledges the crucial role that executive search firms play in increasing diversity in top positions. Diversity is a strategic factor essential for sound decision-making and the success of companies, institutions, and governments. Achieving diversity is a necessity that requires dedicated effort and ongoing commitment from all parties involved.
