Fair360, formerly DiversityInc CEO Carolynn Johnson, Chris Crespo, Inclusiveness Director at EY, and Katherine Prewitt, President of Transmission at Eversource have a candid conversation on what’s needed to ensure all women succeed in corporate America.
The two biggest drivers of a talent pipeline are hiring and promotions. But for women of color in the workplace studies have shown there are challenges to advancement.
According to a study by LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Co., the Women in The Workplace 2018 survey, women of color are far less likely than others to be promoted to manager, more likely to face everyday discrimination and less likely to receive support from their managers.
The researchers surveyed 279 companies employing more than 13 million people. They shared their pipeline data and completed a survey of their HR practices. Only 42 percent of employees surveyed said they see gender diversity as a company priority and only 22 percent see racial diversity as a company priority.
