New Women in the Workplace Report Sees Stagnation in Corporate Commitment to Female Leadership

While there has been meaningful progress toward gender parity in corporate leadership in the United States in the past decade, according to the Women in the Workplace 2024 report from LeanIn.org and McKinsey & Company, there are concerning trends around commitment at an individual and organizational level that will challenge this forward momentum.

For example, progress remains stagnant at the entry-level (48%) and manager (39%) levels, leaving women underrepresented from the very beginning, which makes sustained progress nearly impossible. Further, gains at the senior leadership levels were driven by consolidation of line roles, while in the C-suite, the biggest increase was seen in staff functions such as chief human resources officer or chief legal officer.

Women In Nutraceuticals (WIN) embraces the concept of gender equality in leadership, and recognizes the importance of allyship and inclusion to truly drive a more innovative industry. Having diversity of thought and experience in every part of the business—from product development and strategy to scientific research and marketing—will yield greater business and industry growth.
