Summit Search Group joins 30% Club Canada, strengthening commitment to gender diversity

Summit Search Group has become a member of the 30% Club Canada, demonstrating our aspiration to achieve better gender balance at board, as well at senior management levels.

October 22, 2020; CANADA; The 30% Club is a global campaign that aims to include both board Chairs and CEOs to achieve better gender balance at all levels of organizations. It launched in the UK in 2010 with a goal of achieving a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-100 boards and has since expanded its membership to include a variety of other organizations.

Organizations with greater gender balance in leadership positions are tied to stronger financial performance, improved collaboration and innovation, better client relationships, and higher employee satisfaction. The 30% Club Canada is based around the critical recognition that better gender balance leads to better results, seeing increasing gender diversity as a business imperative as well as a social justice issue.

Summit Search Group recognizes that our continued success as a national professional and executive search firm is dependent on attracting, recruiting and placing the best talent. Becoming a member of the 30% Club Canada is a mark of our commitment to advancing gender equality.

Matt Erhard, Managing Partner in Winnipeg, said: “I am proud that Summit Search Group has joined the 30% Club Canada. The most effective organizations involve both men and women playing a full part.  Diverse organizations bring fresh perspectives, new ideas, new skills, experience and better decision making.”

With over 200 members and growing, the 30% Club Canada believes that promoting gender diversity at the leadership level is a business imperative, not an HR issue. Summit Search Group delivers that commitment.
