Why women in leadership roles are more likely than ever to quit
When it comes to getting promoted into management, men still have the advantage. And women who do ascend to leadership roles are more likely than their male counterparts to have their authority undermined and have some of their efforts go unrecognized. They are now, in the wake of the pandemic, also more likely than ever to quit as a result of dissatisfactions at work. That’s according to the 2022 Women in the Workplace report from McKinsey & Company in partnership with LeanIn.
5 times as likely as women leaders overall to have colleagues say or imply they’re not qualified for their jobs. Women leaders overall are also twice as likely to spend substantial time and energy supporting employee well-being and fostering diversity, equity and inclusion, but don’t get rewarded for it, according to the report. Of women leaders surveyed, 40% said their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are not acknowledged in performance reviews.
