<p>A leading business group has called for measures to increase the number of women in the boardroom, such as making firms measure progress on improving diversity.</p>
<p>The CBI said companies should have to explain if they failed to meet internally set targets, although it added that a media firm with a high number of female staff may set a higher target than an engineering firm employing mainly men.</p>
<p>A similar scheme due to be launched in Australia next year has already led to a big increase in the number of female board appointments, the CBI said.</p>
<p>CBI president Helen Alexander said: &#8220;Although women make up half of the population and more than half of university graduates, they remain woefully under-represented at board level.</p>
<p>&#8220;We need to see more women progressing through the ranks and do more to keep them moving along the career pipeline into the top jobs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Schemes such as flexible working, mentoring and networking have helped but making progress at the very top levels of business will require more sophisticated talent management.</p>
<p>&#8220;What is needed is cultural change, not quotas, ratios or tokenism. That is why we are calling for a flexible system that will allow firms to set targets that reflect the realities of their businesses.&#8221;</p>
