⚠️ McKinsey’s latest Women in the Workplace report paints a sobering picture: at the current rate, true gender parity is nearly 50 years away. Despite some progress, the path remains steep, especially for women of colour, who face amplified challenges at every stage. This data reminds us that equality is still far from a given, and that we need to take bold steps to accelerate progress. Let’s commit to actions that push beyond incremental gains—advancing toward a workplace where every woman has an equal chance to succeed. 💼💪🏽 Meredith Barnes-Cook #WomenInTheWorkplace #GenderParity #McKinseyReport #DiversityAndInclusion
