  • Obstacles for women entering management roles for the first time
  • How to fix the “broken rung” for women taking the first step up to a management position

Did you know?

  • For every 100 men promoted and hired to manager, only 72 women are promoted and hired.
  • Men end up holding 62% of manager-level positions, while women hold just 38%.*
  • Women hold almost 52% of all professional-level jobs in the United States, but still lag significantly behind men when it comes to leadership positions.
  • Among Fortune 500 companies, only 33 had a female CEO as of June 2019.
    • That all-time high equates to just 6.6% of top corporate jobs.**
