Women of colour in US still face greater barriers at work: Report
Al Jazeera
The annual Women in the Workplace report finds American women are more burned out than they were a year ago – and women of colour are still facing more challenges and receiving less support.
Women who work in the United States are more burned out than they were a year ago, while commitments to advance diversity, equity and inclusion are not translating into better experiences at work for women of colour, a report published on Monday finds.
McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org’s seventh annual report on Women in the Workplace examined data from 423 major US companies, surveyed more than 65,000 employees and conducted interviews with people from diverse backgrounds to take stock of how American women are faring more than a year and a half into the coronavirus pandemic.
The report found that the gap in burnout between women and men has nearly doubled over the past year as in-person workplace paradigms continue to be upended, and women assume greater caregiving burdens stemming from hybrid schooling and daycare centre closures.
