Gender Equity: We continue to struggle for a seat at the table

Women still encounter obstacles at the very start of their careers, as they are hired into entry-level positions less frequently than men, leading to early underrepresentation. Furthermore, women face much lower chances of receiving their first promotion to manager—a trend that remains largely unchanged. In 2018, for every 100 men who were promoted to manager, only 79 women advanced; this year, the number increased only slightly to 81 women. This so-called “broken rung” on the corporate ladder means there are far fewer women managers, making it especially challenging for organizations to advance women into higher leadership roles. The problem is even more pronounced for women of color, who make up just 7 percent of current C-suite executives—a modest four-percentage-point rise since 2017. Now in our sixth year, we will address the challenges women face on their way to decision-making positions.
