Women in Work Summit US’ Post

Every day is International Women's Day. #IWD But if there's a spotlight today, let's use it to shine a light on these stats: - Since 2015, the number of women in the C-suite has increased from 17 to 28%, and the representation of women at the VP and SVP levels has also improved significantly. - However, women represent roughly 1 in 4 C-suite leaders, and women of color just 1 in 16. - Because of the broken rung, in a typical company, men end up holding 60% of manager-level positions, while women hold just 40%. As a result, there are fewer women to promote to director, and the number of women decreases at every subsequent level. So what can we do better? Support women, hire women, promote women. That's it! https://lnkd.in/gHQpAMQh

My McKinsey & Company colleagues, together with Lean In recently published the 10th anniversary edition of the annual Women in the Workplace report, the largest study of the state of women in corporate America. There have been important strides in progress, such as more women in leadership and increased efforts of companies to foster inclusion. But, these gains are fragile. The pipeline is still broken and the culture of work can be more equitable. #WomenintheWorkplace #WiW2024 #GenderParity

My key take out from Tshepo Yvonne Mosadi (M.inst.D) article is the pioneering approach to leadership development, which encompasses a comprehensive and inclusive strategy that empowers all individuals in leadership roles, extending beyond the executive committee to foster a culture of growth and excellence throughout the organization.

Companies with more diverse boards have shown that they tend to perform better financially.1 What’s more, organizations that are more diverse as a whole with respect to gender—from top executives and board members to managers and employees—tend to outperform those that are less gender-diverse. What remains in question, however, is this: With women still underrepresented on company boards globally, why aren’t organizations and investors doing more to realize the benefits that diverse boards bring?

Corporate America, your bias is glaring. 28% of C-suite roles are held by women, and just 6% by women of color? That’s not leadership, that’s exclusion. —- Source: McKinsey & Company 10th annual Women in the Workplace report #FutureofWork #WomenintheWorkplace #Diversity

The past decade has seen a significant push for diversity on corporate boards, with women making strides in representation. From 23% in 2018 to 32% in 2023, the number of women on S&P 500 boards has soared. Similarly, directors from racially and ethnically diverse groups grew from 20% to 25% during the same period. However, recent data indicates progress has slowed, with only a 1% increase year over year, according to a recent article by Chief. Despite these challenges, women like Shelly Lombard are leading the charge to advocate for greater representation of women on corporate boards. Our recent event discussed the importance of diversity on boards and how women can leverage their presence to drive positive change.
