Declining Gender Diversity in Real Assets Senior Roles: Q2 2023 Analysis
Introduction: Globally, gender diversity of senior hires in Real Assets has declined by 14 percentage points year-on-year   The latest inSights report by TALNT, a premier AI-driven platform for tracking global executive moves, reveals a concerning decline in gender diversity within senior roles in the Real Assets sector for Q2 2023. With a 14% year-on-year drop in gender diversity, the sector faces challenges in achieving balanced representation. This comprehensive analysis delves into the regional and subsector variations, highlighting significant disparities, particularly in the Americas and EMEA. Whether youre an industry stakeholder or an advocate for gender diversity, read on to gain crucial insights into the state of gender diversity in senior roles within the Real Assets sector and what these trends may signify for the future. Gender diversity in senior hires declined significantly compared with last year, with low female representation in senior roles  image.png 148.23 KB The pie charts above show clearly that gender diversity in Real Assets took a dive in Q2 2023 when compared with the same period last year. The numbers are relatively low, which means any variation has an exaggerated impact. For example, the charts above show that gender diversity n EMEA went from almost 50-50 in Q2 2022 down to less than one in ten. However, even in Q2 2022, that 45% represents only nine appointments. image.png 150.98 KB That said, a quarterly comparison shows a relative decline in gender diversity at the senior talent level here too, as seen above. The numbers remain small enough overall that it’s hard to be certain about whether we’re seeing a trend, so we must look at the data in different ways.  image.png 122.01 KB The charts above show the gender hiring gap between men and women. Here again, the chart for Q2 2022 shows a smaller gap over time that we can see for Q2 this year. These charts also reiterate just how small the numbers are that we’re looking at, however.   image.png 130.07 KB Going by the charts above, it actually looks as though the gender hiring gap was wider in Q1 this year than in Q2, when we know from the pie charts that overall, that’s not the case. In Q1 there are several points where the numbers of senior female hires overlap male hires.   image.png 154.01 KB Speaking regionally, we can see how the greatest variation in gender hiring seems to be in Americas  as well as the stark change in percentages in EMEA from Q2 last year to Q2 this year.  image.png 78.36 KB Which subsectors performed best in terms of gender diversity in Q2 2023? image.png 169.63 KB Looking at the numbers above we can see how the percentages of senior female appointments fell between Q2 2021 and Q2 of this year, while the overall numbers are down too. Asset Management did see an increase in the number of senior female appointments y-o-y, but due to a sharper increase in the number of senior male appointments, the percentage has still fallen significantly.  image.png 185.73 KB Looking at the quarterly comparisons, we can see some improvements in gender diversity in some of the subsectors, such as Real Estate Tech, Development, and Leasing, all of which improved their percentage of senior female appointments between Q1 and Q2. However, looking at the numbers, we again see that this is because the numbers are so small that even tiny increases have had a disproportionate impact on the percentages.  Which positions saw the best gender diversity in Q2 2023? image.png 82.99 KB Looking at the charts for the top senior positions in Q2 2023 and Q2 2022 shows were much of the challenge lies for this sector. We can see that senior female appointments in the top roles has declined markedly year-on-year, and that even then there were no female appointments at all in several of the top ten roles even in Q2 last year.   image.png 80.15 KB Looking at the quarterly comparisons, we can see a similar downward trajectory between Q1 and Q2. This appears to be a sector with low female participation at the top level – something which has only grown worse in Q2 2023. This is something to keep an eye on going forward, though it remains difficult to be certain about trends while the overall senior hiring numbers remain so low.  
Q2 2023 Energy Sector Insights: A Surge in Senior-Level Hiring and Its Global Impact
Introduction: Global senior hiring almost doubled year-on-year, continuing the momentum seen in Q1 In a remarkable turn of events, senior-level hiring within the energy sector has nearly doubled year-on-year, according to the latest inSights report by TALNT—an AI-driven platform specialising in tracking executive moves globally. This comprehensive analysis delves into the most significant hiring trends for senior roles in the energy sector for Q2 2023, comparing it with previous quarters and years. From a notable 98.4% increase in senior hires compared to the same period last year to the regional dominance of the Americas, this report offers a data-driven narrative on the evolving landscape of senior employment in the energy sector. Read on to discover key insights, including the subsectors driving growth and the roles in highest demand, as we explore what these trends signify for the year ahead. Senior level hiring increased by 98.4% in Q2 2023 versus the same period last year and increased by 42.9% quarter-on-quarter image.png 117.38 KB From the above charts, it’s clear to see that senior level hiring has increased sharply year-on-year – although most of that took place in April and tailed off a little thereafter. Senior hiring had already increased significantly in Q1: image.png 119.35 KB The chart above shows that hiring in Q2 also represented an increase over Q1. It is notable that the momentum seemed to be building towards March and may have peaked in April. So we will need to check in Q3 whether this momentum has continued.  image.png 58.03 KB These charts appear to show that most of the increase was in Americas – as well as showing just how much of the increase in Q2 took place in April.  image.png 41.3 KB Analysing the data quarter-on-quarter shows again how the momentum built throughout Q1 before peaking in April. It also seems to show that the narrative of global senior hiring is dominated by the Americas region over EMEA and APAC.  image.png 189.38 KB Looking at the breakdown by subsector, the charts above show Mining, Metals & Minerals leading the upward trend, followed by Energy. Comparing this with Q2 2022, we see that Energy dominated senior hiring in that period. Whereas if we compare with the figures in Q1 of this year:  image.png 183.17 KB We see that Mining, Metals & Minerals had already begun to dominate the hiring numbers – to a greater extent even than can be observed in Q2.  image.png 57.75 KB  These bar charts reiterate these trends. We see that the increase in senior hiring in the Energy subsector year-on-year is much less marked than the comparatively much larger increases seen in Mining, Renewables, and Utilities. We appear to be seeing a more vibrant sector across the board, albeit one where Mining is very much the subsector driving the most growth, both in percentage and numerical terms.    image.png 61.88 KB The charts for Q1 show again that Mining was already the dominant subsector for senior hiring, but also shows that there has been significant growth in every subsector on a quarterly basis as well. We know from the initial charts that much of this increase was seen in April and then tailed off, but it still looks impressive when shown here.   image.png 105.02 KB The above pie charts reflect how the balance of senior hires has changed significantly year-on-year. These reflect the story already outlined, with a relative rise in hiring within Mining making Energy the second largest subsector.   image.png 105.61 KB On a quarterly basis, the charts have actually changed very little, suggesting that the major subsector trends were already well established in Q1.  image.png 87.77 KB Regionally, the charts above show a slight decline in APAC senior hiring proportionately, and a concurrent increase in the share taken up by the Americas.  image.png 92.07 KB Most popular senior roles in Q2 2023  image.png 71.94 KB These charts do show a marked increase in hiring for the top three roles year-on-year. Below that, the numbers are comparable. It is interesting to see a marked increase in demand for Board members, CFOs, and CEOs, suggesting an appetite for more high-level strategic roles.   image.png 88.46 KB Looking at the regional breakdown of the top roles shows that, although demand in the Americas outweighs that in EMEA or APAC, the increase is consistent in all regions. It may be that greater confidence or demand in Americas will filter through to increased demand elsewhere – something to monitor in Q3.  image.png 77.3 KB On a quarterly basis we see much less change in demand, again suggesting that Q2 is continuing the momentum seen in Q1.   image.png 93.85 KB The regional breakdown above is also very similar, although Q2 does seem to show a greater increase in demand for some of the top positions in the Americas, and more demand in other regions in Q2 when compared with Q1.   image.png 87.46 KB Meanwhile, demand at the top ten companies hiring the most senior people doesn’t seem to show a huge change, year-on-year. We can see a shift from mainly Energy firms to more Mining companies in the Q2 2023 top ten, and we can already see the increase in demand from Mining firms in Q1: image.png 98.45 KB This will be interesting to watch play out in Q3 and Q4 to see if the sector can continue the momentum experienced in the first half of the year, and to see whether demand for senior talent will continue to be dominated by the Americas and by the Mining, Metals & Minerals subsector for the rest of the year.
