Women are securing more senior marketing and communications roles in financial services. They are succeeding at promoting their agenda for equal opportunities, status and remuneration. Does this gain for women equal a loss for men? Has the Diversity agenda marginalised men? Men are expected to support Diversity Initiatives because they are good for business. Yet few companies point our how they are good for men, personally and professionally. While some men willingly embrace gender initiatives, other men reject or resent them. Some men seek equality for themselves.
