Lean In

Lean In and McKinsey & Company just released Women in the Workplace 2016, a comprehensive annual study of the state of women in corporate America. Our study, which covers 132 companies representing over 4.5 million employees, finds that women fall behind early and continue to lose ground the more senior they become. Sheryl Sandberg writes that when women are stuck, corporate America is stuck. "These things matter—not just for women, but for us all," she says. "Research shows that gender equality is as good for business as it is for individuals. Diverse teams and companies produce better results and higher revenue and profits, which lead to more opportunity for everyone." Getting to equality is hard work, but it is work worth doing—and the report identifies clear steps companies can take to improve their gender diversity efforts. You can learn more about our findings in The Wall Street Journal and see the aggregated findings at womenintheworkplace.com. More women are leaning in—and they'll go further if the workplace stops pushing back. #LeanIn
