Part 1
Companies should consider recruiting females for the board of directors since having more women on the board leads to better problem solving and more resource production. With diverse boards, members have different knowledge and different opinions toward issues of the companies’ problem; therefore they can effectively solve a problem (Engelstad, Fredrik, and Mari, 58). Enterprises’ having more females on the board experience higher financial performance due to a more significant return on equity, returns on investment and returns on sales leading to increased profit. Lastly, companies having women on board experience higher pay among the board members; this is due to higher profitability the company achieves.
Part2
Companies should consider diversity while selecting people for board instead of looking at their experience, networks and performance. Women may not have the experience or the systems to work in a company, but they have the innate qualities to perform for a particular company (Helgesen, Sally, and Julie, 18). Women are also risk takers which is an excellent value to the testosterone-driven boardroom. Companies interested in having females on boards will give their opinions on room and can find qualified women in many ways.
Part 3
There is a dilemma in this situation, and it is imperative for an organization to follow the 2020 women on board policy, but, on the hand, an organization should not feel like it is a must they employ women on board (Mendez, 32).

Every organization has its own rules and policies that they should abide, and if the women on board rule are not included, then they should not feel pressured to include women on board.
Part 4
First, human resource manager for particular enterprises should devise a rule to include women on a corporate board in a company. The company will, therefore, be obliged to include women on board because it is ruled that they have to follow (Pletzer, Jan, et al., 54). Secondly, a bill of rights should be passed by the parliament for females to be on board. With this rule passed every public organization will be forced to include women on board because they cannot go against government rules hence women will be equally represented on the corporate boards.
