Vliv genderové diverzity středního a vrcholového managementu na finanční a nefinanční výkonnost podniku se zaměřením na FMCG sektor

The thesis addresses the impact of top management's gender diversity on a company's financial and social performance, with an emphasis on the FMCG industry. The purpose of the thesis is to determine whether having women in top management affects company's financial and non-financial performance. The theoretical framework evaluates this issue using a literature review of recent studies. The subject is gradually explored through the lens of a number of empirical studies that were picked for examination due to their applicability in terms of research methodologies, time frames, samples, and variables. Furthermore, analysis is carried out using the example of Unilever ČR. First, the introduction of the company is discussed as well as its strategy in terms of equality, diversity and inclusion. Based on the available data, an analysis is conducted to determine whether women in the top management of Unilever CR had an impact on selected financial performance indicators in the period 2016-2022. The evaluation of an employee satisfaction survey is also used as a foundation for the thesis, which seeks to establish links between the percentage of female respondents and the results of the survey's subheadings. The thesis concludes with relevant recommendations.
