Not Addressed
Government Property Function has lowest proportion of females, requiring active diversity promotion
Conclusion
The OGP told us that the Government Property Function has the lowest proportion of females compared to all other functions. We asked the OGP how it plans to recruit and retain more female property professionals. The OGP told us that it has a successful governance group, the Property Leaders Group, who promote diversity and inclusion on protected characteristics, including gender. The DIO commented that the executive committee at DIO is 50:50 male to female, but that it is continuing to address these issues.46
