Hire the most qualified candidates, but have blind interviews or blind applications. Remove any indication of biases such as name, race, gender. relevant experience and qualifications on a resume are all that should be required. When people say “hire the most qualified candidate” it’s a dog whistle that usually means, “don’t change the way applications and interviews are done because then it won’t inherently benefit the white male like me.”
Required? No, due to the fact that it would go against everything else I said with choice. It should not be discrimination, the best person win. I also think that diversity director should be required to make sure these things aren't happening.
Yes, but only publicly traded companies should be required to maintain a gender ratio in board leadership
No unless the business is large enough. That being said, I support affirmative action as a whole because diversity and helping marginalized groups is important.
If a woman wants to and is qualified than yes
It can be questioned but not required
Yes if they are fit for the job
Women should be banned from participating in business
Girlbossing isnt feminism
No, gender shouldn't be a factor one way or the other
Worker control of corporations
No, but buisnesses should have to share how diverse their board of directors is.
No, but it should be encouraged to look at minorities and women as candidates, the whole culture needs to change
No, it should not be a strict requirement, however, there should be prioritization and increase in women in positions of business leadership
No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender but the slate of candidates should represent the business and it's customers.
i think as long as they earned their spot to be there then yes. they shouldn't be discriminated against or denied it because of their gender.
No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender. Also, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses
No, board members should be hired based on qualifications, having requirements in positions based on someone's identity is forced diversity
If they earned it then yes
No, not required, but more needs to be done by the federal government to improve diversity in the workplace, especially in leadership positions.
If there are women interested in the position they should be given the role
Yes, but only if they pass all requirements, not just because they are women.
They shouldn’t hire those of diversity just to fill a quota but they should be encouraged to include them. However, it should be mandatory if women’s rights or issues are involved
It shouldn't be a requirement, but we should still be hiring women for senior management positions (particularly women of color)
No, I would like to see more representation of women but I don’t think someone should be hired because of their gender - every employee should be qualified and hired fairly regardless of gender
No, but they should be allowed. Women probably want to earn the position.
No, but the government should offer an incentive for companies that have a certain percentage of women on their board.
It shouldnt matter what gender, as long as theyre doing what is best for the business and dont bring sexism into anything.
They should be allowed but it needs to be based off of qualifications not gender
No, but be aware of the diversity of their staff
No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender, but instead encourage diversity in applicants and in their company.
The choice should be made based on qualifications, but men and women should have the same opportunities to reach that level of qualification.
I don't think it should be required but they should be allowed to.
No; no more businesses
Yes, women, african-american, and latinx people should be included to increase diversity and equality in all private or public offices and businesses
Businesses shouldn’t be required to do anything. Let capitalism run its course and if the market dislikes the business, the business will fail.
The question is too vaguely worded to be answerable.
Sex discrimination is illegal. An individual who is the most qualified due to succesful experience, education, and skill should determine the best fit.
Government should not determine how business operate and employ people.
No. We should take a more comprehensive approach to ending inequities based on gender.
No, but they would be foolish not to as companies with women on their boards consistently outperform comparable organizations that do not.
I think that anyone regardless of gender identity, sexual preference, religion, culture, ethnicity, etc. should have equal chances of getting that spot but only those who are qualified for that job can get it. There shouldn't be any place that businesses can find a loophole to get who they want based on gender, or anything like that, on that spot.
Yes, but we really just need the most qualified people on the board regardless of gender identity.
not require it but allow it
No but change should be made to exclude race as much as possible from the process.
No, but there should be an incentive to make their board selection process public knowledge to prove the most qualified people are being selected regardless of gender.
No, it’s their house their rules. Don’t like it, build a better stronger house that destroys theirs.
Yes, but regardless of gender, a person should only be given a role if they are the most qualified for that position.
Yes, but only if they have earned their spot their
Yes, if they are qualified
