How Work Has Changed for Women in Corporate America Over the Last 10 Years.

The article discusses the changes in the workplace for women in corporate America over the past 10 years, based on findings from the annual Women in the Workplace report by Lean In and McKinsey. While progress has been made in accepting gender and racial inequalities as structural issues, gender equity remains uneven. Women of color still face significant obstacles, and it will take them 48 years to reach parity in corporate America compared to 22 years for white women. The report also highlights the decline in organizational and leader commitments to gender and racial diversity. The article provides recommendations for advancing gender equity, including reducing bias in hiring and performance evaluations, activating managers to build an inclusive culture, inspiring employees to become agents of change, creating allyship opportunities for men, and providing benefits that support parents, caregivers, and employees facing health issues. The author emphasizes the importance of staying committed to gender and racial equity and the benefits it brings to everyone and businesses. [Extracted from the article]
