The 10th anniversary of the Women in the Workplace report from Lean In and McKinsey & Company was recently published and highlights the challenges we face: women, especially women of color, are still being passed over for promotions, with only 81 women promoted for every 100 men. This “#broken rung” holds many of us back from reaching #leadership roles. The Second Shift is here to help you fight this imbalance by keeping you in the workforce and offering job opportunities that fit your life, whether full-time, part-time, or flexible. We provide the support you need—through career development, mentorship, and community—to stay in the #talent pipeline and advance your career, even through life transitions. You’re already part of the solution by being here. Together, we’re ensuring that more women rise to leadership and create a more equitable future for all of us. #womeninbusiness #workingwomen #workingmom
