March is officially the start of International Women’s Month. 

 

But as our latest episode goes live today — do women really have something to celebrate? 

Considering the uphill battle women face in their personal and professional lives?

And considering how gender equity in the workplace seems to be backsliding?

 

In fact, according to LeanIn.Org & McKinsey’s 2022 Women in the Workplace Report, for every woman at the director level who gets promoted to the next level, two women directors are choosing to leave their company.

 

We don’t just lose ideas, perspectives and talent when women leaders leave — we also lose our best advocates for equity and inclusion.

 

With that in mind, Inclusion in Progress takes a look at The Great Breakup, the consequences of women leaving the workforce en masse, and how to keep progress on gender equity moving forward by working to retain women on your teams.
