The Pearl Initiative has been very active in creating GCC-specific insights and in 2015 launched the widely acknowledged research report on “Women in Leadership in the GCC – The CEO Agenda”. The Pearl Initiative is now presenting this second report as a continuation of the drive to develop female talent within the regional workforce. It is presented in the form of case studies to illustrate the tailor-made programmes and practices local and multinational companies have successfully implemented to advance more women to senior roles within the Gulf Region.
