Women in the Workplace 2020
Women in the Workplace is the largest comprehensive study of the state of women in corporate America.
In 2015, McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org launched the study to help companies advance diversity in the workplace.
Between 2015 and 2019, close to 600 companies took part in the study, and more than a quarter of a million people were surveyed on their workplace experiences. Now, in 2020, women in corporate America are facing a new challenge: the Covid-19 pandemic.
This year's report focuses on how the pandemic has affected women at work, including the unique impact on women of different races and ethnicities, working mothers, women in senior leadership, and women with disabilities.
It also looks at the emotional impact of incidents of racial violence in this country on employees. Finally, it tracks the changes we've seen in women's representation over the past six years and assesses how Covid-19 could disrupt those trends going forward.
