How to Drive Belonging for Women in the Workplace
Summary
While women are less likely to feel as though they are in a good place professionally, with fewer advancement opportunities and less respect from their peers, leaders have a significant opportunity to change this. The report finds that leaders can drive NBO by 3.6x, compared to just 3.2x. When they focus on the small moments that matter, leaders can increase the human potential of women.
Highlights
- Leaders leave people NBO by being curious about their unique situations and the external forces, such as economic inequality, racism and environmental disasters, that shape their work lives.
- When companies leave people net better off, they double the impact on work outcomes.
- Women report feeling significantly less support from their employers than workers overall in the traditional moments that matter like onboarding, compensation, and life events.
- People in need of skilling, LGBTQ+, race and ethnic minorities and women have the longest runway to an equitable work experience.
- Women are having different experiences in the workplace that prevents them from thriving.
