Research shows huge gender disparity in UK showroom staff
Mazda UK therefore approached 12 of its dealership groups and invited them to take subsidised membership of the Automotive 30% Club, run by Julia Muir for CEOs and MDs willing to set the goal of a minimum 30% representation of diverse women in key roles by 2030. “If that sounds like a quota, you need to understand the science behind the 30%,” says Thomson.
“Because of the way the 30% Club is run, every CEO or MD had to be personally vetted by Julia. She’s very clear that she needs to believe in their willingness to implement change. As a result there’s no risk of anyone participating passively - you have to be willing to make change, and of course that’s what we had identified was required.”
Examples of changes that have already happened range from quick fixes around language used in recruitment adverts through to initiatives to encourage more women to move from aftersales, where representation is better, to sales. “Some recruitment decisions could be braver, that much is clear,” says Thomson.
