Database of Top Women (the Netherlands)
Best Practice
Promoter Information:
Abstract:
SER Top Women is a Dutch initiative designed to increase the visibility of highly qualified, board-ready women and facilitate their progression into top leadership positions. By maintaining a comprehensive database of women with proven talent and ambition, SER Top Women aims to enhance the representation of women in senior roles across both private and public sectors. The platform includes women with relevant experience at the board, management, or executive levels, making them easily accessible to organizations seeking to diversify their leadership teams. The database serves as a valuable resource for companies, institutions, and (non-)executive search firms that are actively seeking female candidates for positions on Executive Boards, Supervisory Boards, or other high-level leadership roles. SER Top Women ensures compliance with legal privacy requirements, providing a secure and professional platform for connecting organizations with top female talent. Beyond simply offering a database of qualified women, SER Top Women plays a crucial role in fostering a broader societal and business conversation around gender diversity in leadership. The initiative encourages companies, institutions, search agencies, and both men and women to engage in dialogue about accelerating gender diversity in decision-making roles. While SER Top Women facilitates the visibility of female candidates, it remains uninvolved in the recruitment and selection processes, leaving this responsibility to employers and the (non-)executive search firms they may choose to engage. By promoting gender diversity at the highest levels of decision-making, SER Top Women contributes to the creation of more inclusive leadership structures, helping organizations benefit from the innovation, varied perspectives, and enhanced performance that come with diverse teams. This initiative is an important step toward closing the gender gap in leadership and ensuring equal opportunities for women in influential positions across all sectors.
