Is there a gender gap when it comes to promotions?
Women in the U.S. hold more than half of entry-level roles, but workforce studies have shown that women are less likely to be hired into certain senior-level leadership roles — and may encounter fewer opportunities for career advancement as a result. That trend appears to hold true for women seeking non-leadership positions as well: The latest findings from LinkedIn's Economic Graph show that, among U.S. workers in non-management roles, a greater share of men are promoted into more senior-level jobs than women in a given year.
An analysis of entry-level workers over the past five years found that 10.26% of men moved into a more senior position after one year, compared to 10.02% of women. That means for every 1,000 men working an entry-level job, about 103 will receive a promotion in a given year — compared to just 100 of every 1,000 women. At a national level, this gap represents tens of thousands more men getting promoted annually than women.
Senior, non-management employees also experience a small but noticeable gender gap, with 5.32% of men moving on to a more senior role one year later compared to 5.18% of women.
Do these findings line up with what you would expect to see? What can employers do to encourage women who want to advance their careers?

Thank you, Rachel Cromidas, for sharing LinkedIn’s latest findings on the gender gap in promotions. The data is both striking and concerning, particularly as it highlights how this gap persists not just in senior leadership roles but even at the entry and senior non-management levels.
The fact that women hold more than half of entry-level roles yet are still less likely to be promoted into senior positions underscores the systemic #barriers that continue to impede women’s career advancement. The small but significant disparities — with 10.26% of men and 10.02% of women advancing from entry-level roles, and 5.32% of men compared to 5.18% of women advancing from senior non-management roles — cumulatively result in tens of thousands more men than women being promoted each year. This trend aligns with broader workforce studies and reflects a critical issue employers must address head-on.
To close this gap and create a more equitable workplace, employers can take several actionable steps:
✴ #Data-Driven Decision Making: Regularly analyzing promotion data by gender, role, and department can help organizations identify disparities and take targeted actions to address them. Transparency in reporting and using metrics to guide decisions can help ensure that promotion practices are fair and equitable.
✴ #Bias Training and Awareness: Unconscious biases often influence promotion decisions, even when unintentional. Implementing robust training programs that raise awareness about these biases and equip managers with mitigation strategies is crucial for leveling the playing field.
✴ #Equitable Access to Opportunities: Employers should ensure women have equal access to high-visibility projects, stretch assignments, and professional development opportunities. These experiences are often gateways to promotion and should be distributed fairly across all employees.
✴ Active #Sponsorship: Beyond mentorship, active sponsorship is critical. Leaders should be encouraged and held accountable for advocating for women, nominating them for promotions, and ensuring they are visible and recognized for their contributions.
✴ Culture of #Inclusion: Creating a culture where diverse leadership styles are valued and women feel supported in their professional growth is essential. This includes fostering an environment where women’s contributions are recognized and where they can confidently pursue advancement without facing cultural or structural obstacles.

I am passionate about driving organizational growth through user-centric solutions. My forward-thinking approach delights users and meet business goals.
Organizations can support women in advancing their careers in several key ways. Historically, women have faced numerous challenges, starting with the struggle for basic rights such as the right to vote. This inequality has persisted in the workplace, where they are often underestimated compared to men. Many men fear losing their dominant position in companies and are reluctant to follow instructions from women due to gender biases. However, women possess innate skills, such as the ability to multitask, which are essential in leadership roles.
To support the advancement of women, organizations should ensure equal pay, making sure there are no disparities based on gender. It is also crucial to provide the same opportunities for professional growth, avoiding biases and making decisions based on abilities rather than gender. This will foster an inclusive environment where women can fully develop their potential.

As a women-founded company, we’ve been mindful of ensuring our women team members are not overlooked in professional development and advancement. At Moore Philanthropy, we are committed the following:
Be honest about social “norms”
Pretending that #women are not relegated to responsibilities seen as a “women’s role” is counterproductive. Instead, we address them directly, devising creative ways to navigate these challenges without penalizing our women team members.
Intentional and proactive professional development
One of the roles of managers is to professionally grow their direct reports. But how often do you talk with your staff about their potential? How often do you intentionally give them opportunities to build and exert their #influence? Not every person wants or is meant to be a manager, but how do you know they’re not unless you actively engage them?
#Rest and Rejuvenation
Everyone needs rest, but because of the barriers, hostilities, and role subjugation women face, women need additional opportunities for rest. And this is not soft or favoritism; it is simply honest. We don’t penalize a woman for needing more if they are called upon more outside of the office, and we extend the same to men in similar situations.

Have you ever wondered why women, despite their qualifications, are often passed over for promotions?
I once approached a superintendent for mentorship on advancing into a superintendency. Despite my doctorate, superintendent training, and extensive qualifications, he advised more coursework, noting it was rare for someone like me to move into a superintendent role without many years of principalship experience. This was puzzling, as the former superintendent had no educational experience yet secured the position.
These findings line up with what I have seen.
To encourage women to advance their careers, employers can:
1. Ensure diverse leadership representation by building a leadership team that is diverse and inclusive, representing various stakeholders, to create role models and advocates for women at all levels of the organization.
2. Offer mentorship and training programs that are directly linked to career advancement and promotion, ensuring women have the guidance and skills needed to move up.
3. Develop an environment where women feel valued, supported, and empowered to pursue leadership roles without unnecessary barriers.

In the business world, there is a significant emphasis on coaching—coaching to build leadership skills, enhance performance, and ultimately drive career advancement. Having experienced both the tech and business worlds, it's clear that executive coaching plays a crucial role in helping women accelerate their ascent into leadership roles.
The data shows that a gender gap in promotions persists, with women being promoted at lower rates than men. To address this, executive coaching is key. Beyond one-time workshops and sporadic mentoring opportunities, ongoing executive coaching allows for personalized, strategic, and targeted skills development over an extended period of time. This approach enables individuals to map out their desired growth trajectories and focus on closing the skills gaps needed to achieve their career goals.
By investing in sustained coaching, companies can empower women to advance more quickly, helping to close the promotion gap and increase female representation in leadership roles.

Is there a gender gap when it comes to promotions? Absolutely. 📊
Women in the U.S. hold more than half of entry-level roles, but they are still less likely to be promoted into senior-level positions compared to their male counterparts. Recent findings from LinkedIn's Economic Graph highlight this disparity: while 10.26% of men in entry-level roles are promoted after one year, only 10.02% of women receive the same opportunity. This gap might seem small, but on a national scale, it means tens of thousands more men are promoted each year than women.
So, what can employers do to support women’s career advancement? 🌟
- Start Early: Be intentional about growing more women in early career stages and provide training on gender biases.
- Mentorship and Sponsorship: Ensure women have access to programs that offer guidance and advocacy for promotions and key projects.

This gap is definitely concerning, but there's a lot companies can do to turn things around. From what I've seen, transparency is key - let's get those promotion criteria out in the open to level the playing field.
Mentorship programs tailored for women can be game-changers too. And let's not forget about creating spaces where women can connect with and support each other. I've found that when we lift each other up, amazing things happen.
The real magic happens when leadership commits to creating an environment where women can truly thrive. It's not just about policies - it's about fostering a culture where women feel empowered to go after those promotions.
Bottom line: we've got work to do, but with the right approach, we can definitely close this gap!
