The study “Women in the Workplace” conducted in partnership by McKinsey and LeanIn.Org shows the progress of women in corporate America over the past six years.
Unlikely any previous report, this year’s study is strongly influenced by the pandemic. The data set includes contributions from 317 companies that took part in the study and more than 40,000 people who were surveyed on their experiences in the workplace. In addition, more than 45 in-depth interviews were conducted.

The most pronounced changes in terms of representation between January 2015 and January 2020 were among women in senior vice president positions, which increased from 23% to 28% and in the C-Suite from 17% to 21%.
