The latest Women in the Workplace report conducted by McKinsey in partnership with LeanIn.org offers insight into the three main reasons women leaders are changing jobs at record rates: they are experiencing barriers to advancement, feeling undervalued, and seeking a more inclusive work culture. So what can companies do to make meaningful progress toward gender equality and retain women leaders? Check out this year’s report, with insights from McKinsey’s Alexis Krivkovich, Ishanaa Rambachan, Monne Williams, Lareina Yee, and their coauthors to learn how your company can develop a road map to gender equality.
