Ep. 284 Opinion. The McKinsey Report: Women in the Workplace
In 2021 McKinsey launched an exciting report, Women in the Workplace 2021, this report is the most extensive study on the state of women in the corporate world in the United States.
The company collected information from 423 participating organizations employing 12 million people, surveyed more than 65,000 employees, and conducted interviews with women of different identities, including women of color, LGB women, and women with disabilities.
Today with my guests, I will discuss some outcomes of this exciting report that I highly recommend reading.
