Benefits of Gender Equality


I have already written about previous McKinsey reports on Gender Equality including “Why Diversity Matters” issued 3 years ago. The  global awareness for inclusion and diversity (I&D) has only increased since then.

Companies regard Gender Equality as a source of competitive advantage.
A new McKinsey report has been published in 2018, “Delivering through Diversity” confirming that  many successful companies regard I&D as a source of competitive advantage.

The key finding of the report is that “The relationship between diversity and business performance persists. The statistically significant correlation between a more diverse leadership team and financial outperformance demonstrated three years ago continues to hold true on an updated, enlarged, and global data set.” The recent research is based on a set of over 1,000 companies.

The case for Women in Management is stregthened with data


The case for Diversity as a business driver is strengthened with more data. If you want to read the full report, please find the link below: 

The research also found interesting facts on other types of diversity. “Companies in the top-quartile for ethnic/cultural diversity on executive teams were 33% more likely to have industry-leading profitability”. In addition, the paper gives policy recommendations to improve organization I&D. 

No wonder these articles on Diversity are amongst the most downloaded from the McKinsey web. Enjoy!

En la compensación definida por la empresa, se puede entender que va incluida una cierta compensación por el efecto de la fiscalidad de cada país. Ecualización : en este caso, la empresa ofrece una protección fiscal al Expatriado por la que se pretende mantener la misma carga fiscal (en relación a tus retrib

What is Tax Equalization?

Tax  Equalization is an agreement whereby the Company offers the Expatriates a certain tax protection that is intended to maintain the same tax burden as if they had not moved from their country of origin . This is a complex matter. One of the most important topics as an Expat is to understand your tax implications. In short, t here are two basic tax policies around this topic: Gross Compensation : In this scheme, any compensation paid by the company is defined in gross terms (i.e. before taxes), being the Expat the risk taker of lower or higher taxes to be paid during the assignment. Tax Equalization : in this case, the company offers the expatriate a certain tax protection that is intended to maintain the same tax burden (in relation to their employment with the company) as if they had not moved from their country of origin. The advantage of this alternative is that it allows the company and the Expat to negotiate neglecting the tax differe
