McKinsey & Company and Lean In.Org: Findings From The 2021 Women in the Workplace Study With Jess Huang And Archana Gilravi

Welcome back to The RecruitingDaily Podcast! We have a very special episode today where we'll discuss findings from the 2021 Women in the Workplace Study with Jess Huang of McKinsey & Company and Archana Gilravi of Lean In.Org.

Women in the Workplace is the most extensive study on the case of women in the corporate US. Based on data from 423 organizations employing 12 million people, this year’s release features data from nearly 400 CHROs, an overview of the benefits and risks of remote work, best practices for bias elimination and data-driven stories of experiences from women of differing backgrounds.

Jess Huang, partner at McKinsey & Company, partners with consumer-facing companies to help them develop and flourish in an changing and demanding landscape. She's passionate about gender diversity and an author on McKinsey’s research on women in the workplace.

Archana Gilravi, vice president at Lean In Programs & Partnerships, who partnered with McKinsey & Company to conduct the research for the 2021 Women in the Workplace Study. She's an industrious and innovative general manager with over 18 years of driving prosperous teams, launching new companies and solving difficult problems.

A few things we discuss today: What is the breadth and depth of the sample size used to build this data? What does recognition for women look like during the COVID era after disproportionately stepping up? Why are men being advanced more rapidly than women during a time when women have proven to take the lead in organizations?
