NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS IN SHORT SUPPLY
There is a shortage of senior candidates in construction looking for non-executive director( NED) positions, says an online recruitment platform.
Despite people in the sector having the skills, talent and experience to offer boards, currently just 2 % of the NonExecutiveDirectors. com 6,000 strong database, actively looking for roles, are working or have worked in construction. CEO of NonExecutiveDirectors. com, Matthew Roberts, said:“ We want more people from this sector to sign up. Perhaps they think they don’ t have the skills required for a non-executive director, but being on a board is very much about the behaviours and attributes they display like confidence, self-control and the ability to challenge or support.” According to the NonExecutiveDirectors. com database, a typical NED is a 57-year-old male based in the south east of England, with 14 years’ experience as an executive. The areas from which there are the highest number of candidates putting themselves forward for NED roles are publishing and media( 19 %), charity / not for profit( 13 %), and greentech / cleantech( 13 %). From 4,819 male and 1,065 female members a mere 18 % are women, despite the fact that boards would benefit hugely from their ability to bring different perspectives. Matthew concludes:“ The gist of the feedback we’ ve been given is that females still have a perception of‘ cronyism’ and boardroom politics at this level, and that many intermediaries helping find non-exec positions are also male, which they can find off-putting.”
