Today, in a joint partnership with McKinsey & Company, we released the 10th edition of the Women in the Workplace report, shedding light on the progress we’ve made and how much we still have to achieve. Over the past decade, the number of women in senior leadership has steadily increased, and these women are reshaping the workplace and inspiring a new generation. However, the gains we’ve seen throughout the corporate pipeline are fragile and challenging to maintain. At the current rate of progress, we are almost 50 years from parity for all women in corporate America. And what’s really concerning is that there company commitment to diversity is declining, while employee commitment has remained relatively low. To learn more about how the state of corporate America has evolved over the past years for women and the road to parity, check out the report at https://bit.ly/3B40Oit #WomenInTheWorkplace10

Despite the prevalence of mental health struggles among both men and women, men are much less likely than women to ask for help in scripted TV. Our partners at the Geena Davis Institute collected data about mental health portrayals in 409 episodes of scripted television from 2021–2022 that were popular with children and teens, and then conducted statistical analyses to learn how on-screen portrayals of mental health varied by gender. Some key takeaways: 💡 Male TV characters were about 2x as likely as female characters to struggle with substance use disorder. ❗ Female TV characters were 12x more likely than male characters to struggle with self-harm. 🧠 Women on TV were more likely than men to discuss their mental health issues. Our colleagues Larissa Terán, PhD and Meredith Conroy from Geena Davis Institute wrote about these findings and recommendations for content creators as well as media consumers on our blog.
