Número de mulheres CEOs dobra no Brasil em cinco anos, mas representatividade ainda é desafio, aponta pesquisa da Bain

A Bain & Company acaba de lançar a pesquisa Sem atalhos: o caminho para a representatividade da mulher no topo e o valor para as empresas, que busca entender a percepção da comunidade empresarial sobre a presença de mulheres na gestão corporativa e explorar as principais barreiras para que elas alcancem o topo. A consultoria ainda aponta as ações necessárias para criar um ambiente favorável à ascensão de talentos femininos no Brasil. 

“Precisamos ressaltar que houve uma evolução e a representatividade da mulher em cargos de liderança virtualmente dobrou nos últimos cinco anos, mas ainda está longe da equidade. Diante do crescente questionamento sobre a validade dos investimentos em diversidade, a pesquisa destaca a importância de lideranças diversas para o crescimento sustentável das empresas, expõe as barreiras à ascensão feminina e sugere ações para acelerar esse avanço”, observa Luiza Mattos, sócia da Bain responsável pelo estudo, líder das práticas de Saúde e Customer Experience na América do Sul e responsável pelo grupo de afinidade Women at Bain. 

Segundo uma análise da Bain com base nas 250 maiores empresas do Brasil, entre 2019 e 2024, o número de mulheres CEOs cresceu de 3% para 6%. Já a de executivas subiu de 23% para 34% e o de conselheiras aumentou de 5% para 10%. Com base nesses dados, é possível verificar que as mulheres começam a perder representatividade nos cargos de liderança quando chegam à média gerência, conforme o gráfico abaixo.  

Vantagens da diversidade

A pesquisa aponta que a implementação de ações concretas voltadas à diversidade favorece a equidade de gênero e, adicionalmente, fortalece a competitividade, demonstrando que a inclusão é um motor essencial para o sucesso organizacional sustentável.

Há também a percepção de que empresas com liderança diversa são mais inovadoras e abertas a novas soluções. Além disso, elas são, em média, 1,8 vezes mais identificadas como companhias mais orientadas para a ação, com foco na geração de valor e na redução de burocracias. Outras vantagens percebidas são a incorporação da voz do cliente nas decisões e a atração de talentos. 

Falta de aspiração é mito

Mulheres aspiram e confiam que podem chegar ao topo tanto quanto os homens e ambos consideram o desejo de participar de decisões estratégicas e gerar impacto como os principais fatores de influência. Contudo, os homens buscam a liderança 1,7 vezes mais que as mulheres para atender a pressão social e da família e são 1,3 vezes mais motivados pelo status associado. Já as colaboradoras buscam a liderança 1,2 vezes mais motivadas pela oportunidade de desenvolvimento pessoal e equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e carreira. 

Geralmente as pessoas tendem a avaliar melhor o próprio gênero em comparação ao oposto. Os homens consideram as mulheres de forma mais positiva em aspectos de trabalho em equipe, mas mostram menor reconhecimento em áreas ligadas à resolução de problemas. Por outro lado, as mulheres tendem a avaliar como significativamente mais baixo o desempenho da liderança masculina no desenvolvimento dos times. Outra diferença está na percepção de equidade nos processos de seleção e promoção, que apresenta divergências relevantes entre homens e mulheres, especialmente em posições mais sêniores.

Quatro ações para impulsionar a presença das mulheres em cargo de liderança

Para ampliar a equidade de gênero e garantir um ambiente corporativo mais inclusivo, a Bain ressalta que é necessário investir em quatro estratégias que enfrentem os desafios estruturais e culturais, promovendo práticas que impulsionem a diversidade e a valorização do talento feminino:

  1. Utilizar dados para embasar decisões: definir estratégias de DEI e monitorar os resultados, sempre que possível vinculando-os a indicadores de negócio para maximizar o impacto;
  2. Revisar processos e iniciativas com impacto de liderança: desenhar um plano de ação específico para a alta liderança, com ações eficazes e de longo prazo, acompanhado de metas claras que orientem a organização;
  3. Comunicar com intenção e construir um ambiente inclusivo: divulgar objetivos e avanços em diversidade de forma intencional, promovendo uma narrativa de liderança inclusiva e uma cultura de oportunidades iguais para todos;
  4. Engajar a liderança e promover corresponsabilidade: identificar aliados e promover o engajamento profundo da liderança, aproximando os líderes das soluções, com corresponsabilização de todos, incluindo o conselho administrativo

Como conclusão, o levantamento da Bain aponta que a implementação de ações concretas voltadas à diversidade favorece a equidade de gênero e, adicionalmente, fortalece a competitividade e a inovação empresarial, demonstrando que a inclusão é um motor essencial para o sucesso organizacional sustentável.

Inclusion and speed: the Brazil-Asia e-commerce revolution In recent years, Brazil has experienced a significant transformation in its e-commerce landscape, driven by a combination of factors including increased internet penetration, the rise of mobile technology, and a growing middle class with higher disposable income. This transformation has been further accelerated by the strengthening of trade relations between Brazil and Asia, particularly with China. **Inclusion: Bridging the Digital Divide** One of the most notable aspects of Brazil's e-commerce growth is the inclusion of previously underserved populations. Historically, Brazil has faced challenges with digital inequality, where certain regions and demographic groups had limited access to the internet and e-commerce platforms. However, initiatives by the government, private sector, and non-governmental organizations have worked to bridge this digital divide. Programs such as "Internet para Todos" (Internet for All) have aimed to expand broadband access across the country, particularly in rural and remote areas. Additionally, partnerships with tech companies have led to the development of affordable smartphones and payment solutions, making it easier for lower-income individuals to participate in the digital economy. **Speed: The Rapid Growth of E-commerce** The speed at which Brazil's e-commerce sector has grown is remarkable. According to data from the Brazilian E-commerce Association (ABComm), the sector has seen exponential growth over the past decade. In 2020, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce sales in Brazil reached a record high, with a significant increase in the number of online shoppers and the volume of transactions. This rapid growth can be attributed to several factors: 1. **Increased Internet Penetration**: With more Brazilians gaining access to the internet, the potential customer base for e-commerce has expanded significantly. 2. **Mobile Technology**: The widespread adoption of smartphones has played a crucial role in driving e-commerce growth. Mobile commerce (m-commerce) has become increasingly popular, allowing consumers to shop anytime, anywhere. 3. **Payment Solutions**: The introduction of various payment methods, including digital wallets, credit cards, and installment plans, has made online shopping more accessible and convenient for consumers. 4. **Logistics and Delivery**: Improvements in logistics and delivery services have enhanced the e-commerce experience. Companies have invested in technology and infrastructure to ensure faster and more reliable delivery, which is critical for customer satisfaction. **Brazil-Asia Trade Relations** The strengthening of trade relations between Brazil and Asia, especially with China, has had a profound impact on Brazil's e-commerce sector. China is not only a major source of imported goods for Brazil but also a significant investor in Brazilian technology and infrastructure. Chinese e-commerce giants like Alibaba and JD.com have expanded their operations into Brazil, bringing with them advanced technologies and business models. This has led to increased competition and innovation within the Brazilian e-commerce market. Additionally, Chinese investment in Brazilian logistics and technology has improved the overall efficiency of the e-commerce supply chain. **Conclusion** The inclusion and speed of Brazil's e-commerce revolution are reshaping the retail landscape in the country. By bridging the digital divide and leveraging the benefits of increased trade with Asia, Brazil is positioning itself as a major player in the global e-commerce market. As this trend continues, it is likely that we will see even more innovation and growth in the sector, benefiting both consumers and businesses alike.
