Who's in charge at some of our biggest organisations and how are they doing when it comes to gender balance?

A new report out this morning from Champions for Change - a group of over 80 CEOs and Chairs - looks at how well 62 of its member organisations have done in achieving that, as well as diversifying the ethnic makeup of its highest levels.

The report analysed data from the past seven years, finding six organisations - BNZ, Buddle Findlay, Fonterra, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, PWC and The Treasury - had completely closed their power gaps.

A further 22 organisations had achieved gender balance at board, executive or management levels.

The report also looked at how well Maori and other ethnicities were represented.

To talk about that in detail, and also look at which industries are still struggling with gender diversity and solutions for improvement, Kathryn is joined by Champions for Change co-chairs, Antonia Watson, who is also the CEO of ANZ Bank and Roger Gray, CEO of the Port of Auckland.
