基金行業性別歧視嚴重
One in five women in asset management has suffered sexual harassment at work, according to an FTfm survey of 730 fund industry staff, which shows that sexism continues to plague the market.
根據英國《金融時報》基金管理(FTfm)專刊針對730名基金行業員工的一項調查，該行業每5名女性中就有一名在工作中遭受過性騷擾。調查顯示，性別歧視在該行業仍大量存在。The global survey of both men and women found that another third of female asset management staff had experienced sexist behaviour at work on a weekly or monthly basis and that 15 per cent had felt under pressure to exploit their sexuality at work.
這項針對資產管理行業男女員工的全球調查發現，另有三分之一的女性員工在工作中每週或每月會遭遇性別歧視行爲，15%在工作中感受到利用自己的性魅力的壓力。
One of the 488 female respondents to the survey, who asked to remain anonymous, referred to sexist abuse by clients, managers and colleagues as “routine”. She said: “[My bosses invent] perverted nicknames about parts of our bodies and fantasise about pornographic scenes. Clients hit on [me] nonstop. I can’t dress like I would in another job and I purposely don’t wear make-up.”
在488名女性受訪者中，一位要求匿名的受訪者稱，客戶、管理者以及同事的性別歧視言論已成“常事”。她表示：“（我的上司們會發明）有關我們身體部分的變態暱稱，還會幻想色情場景。客戶們不停地（向我）獻殷勤。我無法穿得像其他工作那樣，我故意不化妝。”
The findings cast doubt on the common assumption that asset management represents the softer side of financial services. According to figures published in October by diversity campaign group Opportunity Now, a little more than a 10th of women working across banking and financial services said they had suffered sexual harassment. Saker Nusseibeh, chief executive of Hermes Investment Management, said the FTfm findings were of “enormous concern. Making the workplace an unwelcoming environment for 50 per cent of the possible talent pool is value destructive and stupid.”
這些調查發現令人質疑這樣一種普遍看法：即資產管理代表着金融服務業較爲柔和的一面。根據多元化運動組織Opportunity Now在10月公佈的數據，銀行和金融服務業略超過十分之一的女性員工表示，她們遭受過性騷擾。Hermes Investment Management首席執行官薩克•努賽貝(Saker Nusseibeh)表示，英國《金融時報》基金管理專刊的調查結果令人“深感憂慮。讓潛在人才庫中的50%人羣的工作場所變成一個不受歡迎的環境，是對價值的毀滅，極爲愚蠢。”The Financial Times distributed the survey to fund staff through emails, its website and industry associations.
英國《金融時報》通過電郵、網站和行業協會，面向基金業員工進行了這項調查。The results revealed deep mistrust about companies’ whistleblowing channels and how complaints are dealt with.
調查結果顯示出，人們對公司的舉報渠道和處理投訴方法極不信任。A female hedge fund employee, who said she was sexually assaulted by a senior banker who worked with her company, did not report the incident to her managers out of fear that it could damage her career. “No one wants to be the girl that screams,” she said.
一位對衝基金女員工表示，她曾受到所在公司一位高級銀行家的性騷擾，但她沒有將此事報告給頂頭上司，擔心那可能損害自己的職業前途。她表示：“沒有人想當大聲疾呼的女生。”
