SMF is urging HR directors to consider professional engineers
with business qualifications and experience as an attractive
complementary skill base for board director positions.
The call comes as new research commissioned by SMF demonstrates
a discrepancy between perception and recruitment reality when it
comes to professional engineers' recognition as board-level
appointees and the lack of diversity in the viewpoints represented
around the table that this brings.
Following the research results SMF has produced this booklet for HR
directors to encourage them to seek more information on the role of
professional engineers in the corporate world. Within the
booklet is a skills matrix to assist in the assessment of an
organisation's needs and how a business-qualified, professional
engineer can enhance the board.
