The Women in the Workplace 2022 study is the largest study of women in corporate America, produced by a joint effort of LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Company. Report co-authors, LeanIn.Org's co-founder and CEO, Rachel Thomas, and McKinsey's Senior Partner, Lareina Yee, shared their insights and interpretation of the findings. The top-line conclusion? We're in the midst of a great breakup.
"For the first time in all the years I've been working this report, women leaders — directors, vice presidents, and senior vice presidents — are walking away at higher rates than men," says Yee. "Why are they doing that? Because women are ambitious. They are breaking up with companies that can't offer leadership opportunities."
