"Women comprise 47% of the workforce but only hold 37% of leadership positions in the U.S. The promotion gap begins early, with only 93 women promoted for every 100 men, and narrows further at higher levels, resulting in women holding just 29% of C-suite roles."
"Many leadership roles are still structured around the assumption that the best leaders are those who can be constantly available. This expectation disadvantages women, as caregiving responsibilities disproportionately fall on them."
Women represent 47% of the workforce but hold only 37% of leadership positions in the U.S. The promotion gap starts early, with only 93 women promoted for every 100 men, and narrows further at higher levels, resulting in women holding just 29% of C-suite roles. An outdated leadership model favors constant availability, disadvantaging women who often bear caregiving responsibilities. Organizations express a desire for more women leaders, yet promotion criteria remain rooted in outdated assumptions about availability and support roles.
