Governance
Senior Executive Positions (Cadres Dirigeants)
High-level managerial roles with significant responsibilities and autonomy, subject to gender representation quotas.
Definition
These are high-ranking employees who hold significant responsibilities, exercise broad autonomy, and are involved in the strategic direction of the company. They typically receive high levels of remuneration and are distinct from general managerial roles due to their strategic influence. The Loi Rixain specifically targets these positions, alongside management bodies, with mandatory quotas to ensure a more balanced representation of women and men at the highest echelons of corporate leadership in large French companies, aiming to dismantle the 'glass ceiling'.
