Women in the
Workplace
McKinsey & Company 2
Our Eighth year
This year…
333 Participating companies
12 million+ Employees in
participating companies
34 in-depth 1-on-1 interviews
40,000+ Employees surveyed on
workplace experiences
Note: In this document, “women” includes cisgender and transgender women. Due to small sample sizes for transgender women, data are
reported for “women overall” or “LGBTQ+ women” in aggregate. Women of color include Black, Latina, Asian, Native American/American
Indian/Indigenous or Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, or mixed-race women. Due to small sample sizes for
other racial and ethnic groups, reported findings on individual racial/ethnic groups are restricted to Black women, Latinas, and Asian women.

Women in the Workplace is a multi-year
joint research effort by McKinsey &
Company and LeanIn.org. It is the largest
comprehensive study of the state of
women in corporate America
Since the launch of the report in 2015, 810+
companies have participated in the study, and
400,000+ employees have been surveyed on their
workplace experiences.

Note: Total percent of women and men per level in the race and gender pipeline may not sum to overall corporate pipeline totals, as the race pipeline does not
include employees with unreported race data. Some percentages may sum to 99 percent or 101 percent due to rounding. Pipeline data in this report are based
on data from the end of 2021 and do not reflect changes through 2022

Note: Voluntary attrition rates for men and women leaders (L4 to L1) were calculated by weighting each employee level’s voluntary attrition rate by the end of
year composition. “Voluntary attrition” refers to employees who left their organization of their own volition. Women and men leaders refers to employees at the
senior manager / director, vice president, senior vice president, and c-suite levels; 4-year average voluntary attrition from 2017-2020

The “broken rung” is still broken – women of color especially are
less likely to overcome this barrier
For every 100 men
promoted to manager
…and only 82 women of color
are promoted, compared to 85
women of color last year
…only 87 women

This is as broken as last year for

Table stakes
Over the years we have seen
certain DEI policies become ‘table
stakes’:
• Tracking DEI data
• Providing unconscious bias
training
• Offering benefits, including
healthcare, mental health
support, bereavement support,
or paid sick and family leave
• Providing career development
Leading policies
Top performing companies
differentiate themselves through
several ‘leading’ policies:
• Setting DEI goals and holding
leaders accountable
• Training managers on
fostering diverse, inclusive and
hybrid teams
• Offering leading benefits
• Implementing targeted
sponsorship programs
Next horizon practices
We are also seeing the
emergence of some ‘next horizon’
DEI policies:
• Tracking outcomes for remote,
hybrid and onsite employees
• Linking progress on diversity to
financial incentives
• De-biasing core processes like
recruiting and promotions
Note: Table stakes are practices offered by ≥75% of 2022 participants. Leading policies are less standard (e.g., offered by < 75%) and are more prevalent in
companies that have both improved women’s representation and outperformed their industry from 2019 to 2022 when compared to other companies with data
from the same time period. Next horizon practices are those implemented by (< 30% participants in 2022) but are emerging with promising early results

Actions
companies can
take
Source: 2022 Women in the Workplace research
De-aggregate the data
Track metrics at a granular level to understand pipeline and experiences of specific job roles
and intersectional groups to inform more targeted solutions
Equip managers to meet the new bar
Upskill managers on topics critical to managing hybrid and diverse teams, including how to
manage workload, enable connectivity, and ensure equitable promotions and career
development
Re-define how work can be done
Communicate hybrid work guidelines, gather regular feedback from employees, foster
connectedness, and be purposeful about in-person work
Close the gap between paper and practice
Move beyond offering a program to ensuring efficacy by tracking participation, outcomes,
and satisfaction, with a rigorous program to improve
Support the whole employee
Minimize impact of imbalances outside workplace by providing enhanced emergency care
benefits, and expanded support for mental health and broader wellness
Create a culture of accountability for DEI
Reward leaders who are stepping up, hold those who are not delivering accountable, and
increase transparency on progress against DEI goals
23
McKinsey & Company
McKinsey & Company 24
Actions
leaders and
individuals
can take
Make sure women’s ideas are heard
Role model allyship by calling out microaggressions so women (especially women of color)
don’t have to always self advocate for inclusive culture
Interrupt bias in the moments that matter
Challenge the likeability penalty, ensure balanced language in reviews, challenge hiring and
promotion criteria that creates gatekeeping
Mentor and sponsor women
Reflect on personal sponsorship model (your “top ten list”) and how balanced it is, set a bar
for true sponsorship (not just mentorship)
Give women direct feedback
Women often receive less constructive feedback — often vague, couched in
communications vs. business metrics
Celebrate women’s accomplishments
Recognize the valued work of great leaders – as sponsors, managers and DEI champions,
and ensure it is rewarded
Rebalance the small moments
Ensure the informal representation is as balanced as the formal – airtime in meetings,
presenting at conferences, stretch assignments

  • 21. McKinsey & Company 21 Table stakes Over the years we have seen certain DEI policies become ‘table stakes’: • Tracking DEI data • Providing unconscious bias training • Offering benefits, including healthcare, mental health support, bereavement support, or paid sick and family leave • Providing career development Leading policies Top performing companies differentiate themselves through several ‘leading’ policies: • Setting DEI goals and holding leaders accountable • Training managers on fostering diverse, inclusive and hybrid teams • Offering leading benefits • Implementing targeted sponsorship programs Next horizon practices We are also seeing the emergence of some ‘next horizon’ DEI policies: • Tracking outcomes for remote, hybrid and onsite employees • Linking progress on diversity to financial incentives • De-biasing core processes like recruiting and promotions Note: Table stakes are practices offered by ≥75% of 2022 participants. Leading policies are less standard (e.g., offered by < 75%) and are more prevalent in companies that have both improved women’s representation and outperformed their industry from 2019 to 2022 when compared to other companies with data from the same time period. Next horizon practices are those implemented by (< 30% participants in 2022) but are emerging with promising early results We are seeing the emergence of leading DEI practices Not exhaustive Source: 2022 Women in the Workplace research 21 McKinsey & Company

  • 23. McKinsey & Company 23 Actions companies can take Source: 2022 Women in the Workplace research De-aggregate the data Track metrics at a granular level to understand pipeline and experiences of specific job roles and intersectional groups to inform more targeted solutions Equip managers to meet the new bar Upskill managers on topics critical to managing hybrid and diverse teams, including how to manage workload, enable connectivity, and ensure equitable promotions and career development Re-define how work can be done Communicate hybrid work guidelines, gather regular feedback from employees, foster connectedness, and be purposeful about in-person work Close the gap between paper and practice Move beyond offering a program to ensuring efficacy by tracking participation, outcomes, and satisfaction, with a rigorous program to improve Support the whole employee Minimize impact of imbalances outside workplace by providing enhanced emergency care benefits, and expanded support for mental health and broader wellness Create a culture of accountability for DEI Reward leaders who are stepping up, hold those who are not delivering accountable, and increase transparency on progress against DEI goals 23 McKinsey & Company
  • 24. McKinsey & Company 24 Actions leaders and individuals can take Make sure women’s ideas are heard Role model allyship by calling out microaggressions so women (especially women of color) don’t have to always self advocate for inclusive culture Interrupt bias in the moments that matter Challenge the likeability penalty, ensure balanced language in reviews, challenge hiring and promotion criteria that creates gatekeeping Mentor and sponsor women Reflect on personal sponsorship model (your “top ten list”) and how balanced it is, set a bar for true sponsorship (not just mentorship) Give women direct feedback Women often receive less constructive feedback — often vague, couched in communications vs. business metrics Celebrate women’s accomplishments Recognize the valued work of great leaders – as sponsors, managers and DEI champions, and ensure it is rewarded Rebalance the small moments Ensure the informal representation is as balanced as the formal – airtime in meetings, presenting at conferences, stretch assignments Source: 2022 Women in the Workplace research 24 McKinsey & Company
