StockCross Financial Takes the ParityPledgetm as Part of Its Commitment to Improving the Pathway for Women in Leadership Positions
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- StockCross Financial Services (www.stockcross.com) -- One of the largest privately owned brokerage firms in the nation, today announced it has taken the ParityPledgeTM, building on its commitment to improving the pathway for women in leadership positions.
By taking the Pledge, StockCross will commit to interviewing at least one qualified woman candidate for every open position at the level of vice president and above, including the C-suite and board. No quotas. No deadlines. The ParityPledge is an initiative of Parity.org, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on bringing gender equality to the highest levels of business.
"Gender parity is not a women's issue?it's a human issue and affects everyone," said Eric Tassell, SVP of StockCross Financial. "Financial Services has been a male dominated industry, and we are proud to take the ParityPledge to offer opportunities for Women and to promote diversity in our company culture. We committed to promoting Women in finance at StockCross."
The ParityPledge was inspired by the NFL's Rooney Rule, a straightforward solution that improved diversity at leadership levels of NFL teams by requiring teams to include more diverse candidates in the interview process. In just three years, the Rooney Rule helped increase representation of African Americans in team leadership positions from 6 percent to 22 percent.
