Gender Equality Still Faces Hurdle During Promotions At Job
According to LeanIn.Org's McKinsey and Company, Women in the Workplace 2022 report, female leaders demand more work and are more likely to change jobs to meet their needs.
Nowadays we talk about gender equality, we say women are no less than men in any aspect of life, but is it really followed at the workplaces? We often hear regarding unequal pay, gender-based recognition, and delay in promotions for women at jobs.
In 2022, only a quarter of C-suite leaders were women. In addition, there is still the "broken ladder" problem, where fewer women than men are promoted to leadership positions as for every 100 men who are promoted from initiator to manager, only 87 women are promoted.
According to the report, female leaders tend to want to be promoted to higher-level positions just like men, but they are more likely to encounter violations that undermine their power than men. gender. The report found that 37 per cent of female leaders have their ideas recognised by their colleagues, compared to 27 per cent of male leaders, and female leaders are twice as likely to be mistaken for subordinates than male leaders.
