In 2024, Norway is pioneering gender equality in boardrooms with comprehensive quotas. The new rules aim to achieve a 60/40 gender balance over a four-year period in around 20,000 companies. The process involves gradual implementation based on financial criteria and company size. The Norwegian government estimates a need for 13,000 new candidates during this transition, emphasizing the importance of proper recruitment processes for diversity beyond gender. Aboard, a Norwegian board recruitment agency, emphasizes finding the right candidate based on competence, personality, and diversity. The CEO of Aboard, Ida Melbye-Larsen, advocates analyzing needs first and then finding the right person. The move highlights a broader approach to diversity in corporate leadership. Aboard, with over 1300 diverse board candidates, promotes diversity in the boardroom through its unique digital platform and educational initiatives.
