A new survey by an HR consultancy firm has revealed that most people prefer women bosses to men.

The Reabur.com survey showed that 38% of those questioned believe that women generally make better bosses compared to 29% who favour men. Reasons given included that women are more understanding, are more organised and are more comfortable discussing personal issues.

Georgina Read, co-founder of Reabur.com said: “I can understand that some would find it easier to confide in a woman or a man, but I think that is just a personal preference. A boss is a person who should always be approachable and it’s important that all managers handle sensitive situations gracefully and discreetly.”
