‘It’s a disastrous situation’: Women leaders are leaving companies at the highest rate ever
For women in management, there’s never been a better time to quit.
Women leaders are leaving their companies at the highest rate ever, and the gap between women and men in senior roles quitting their jobs is the largest it’s ever been, according to new data from LeanIn.org and McKinsey & Company, which started tracking these numbers in 2015.
In its “Women in the Workplace” report, which surveyed 22,000 women and 18,000 men, Lean In and McKinsey & Co.found that it’s increasingly important to women that they work for companies that prioritize career advancement, flexibility, employee well-being as well as diversity, equity and inclusion — and they’re leaving their companies in unprecedented numbers when these needs aren’t met.
