The Great Breakup: How Corporate America can 'Make Up' With Wronged Female Leaders

Retrieved on: 
Monday, February 20, 2023

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Feb. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An annual report from LeanIn.org and McKinsey & Company revealed that in 2022, women leaders had departed their corporate roles at a record rate compared to men. These departures have been attributed to workplace issues such as work-life balance problems, microaggressions, and diminished recognition of gender equality efforts. To tackle the ongoing trend of female leadership leaving the workspace, Monica Eaton — founder of Chargebacks911 — has suggested that C-suite administrators should reevaluate and modify their corporate cultures and procedures to give better support to women employees or risk losing future generations of female leadership.

Key Points: 
  • Women are leaving the corporate world in staggering numbers in an unfortunate trend known as "The Great Breakup," leaving a void of female leadership in key positions.
  • These departures have been attributed to workplace issues such as work-life balance problems, microaggressions, and diminished recognition of gender equality efforts.
  • Fewer than a quarter of C-suite executives are women, and less than five percent are women of color.
  • Eaton's mission is for this program to encourage women to "be the beacon you want the world to see."
