Research Report – Working Equal https://www.workingequal.com Community for Women to Discuss & Report Workplace Inequality Tue, 15 Oct 2019 21:35:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.3.18 LeanIn.org and McKinsey & Company release Women in the Workplace 2019 https://www.workingequal.com/2019/10/15/leanin-org-and-mckinsey-company-release-women-in-the-workplace-report/ Tue, 15 Oct 2019 21:34:08 +0000 https://www.workingequal.com/?p=4658 This detailed report provides data on several issues impacting gender equality in the workplace. Specifically, they have identified an issue that is at the core of the problem – the broken rung. They found that women are not being promoted at the same rates to manager as men, which is issue that impacts a woman throughout her career. Some of the interesting facts from the study include:

  • About 1 in 5 C-suite executives is a woman—and only 1 in 25 C-suite executives is a woman of color.
  • Women are not leaving their companies at higher rates than men.
  • While women are breaking the glass ceiling, the broken rung remains a problem. For every 100 men
    promoted and hired to manager, only 72 women are promoted and hired.
  • Black women and Latinas are more likely to be held back by the broken rung. For every 100 entry-level men who are promoted
    to manager, just 68 Latinas and 58 Black women are promoted.
