SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Company released the ninth annual Women in the Workplace report, the largest study on the state of women in corporate America.

  • Years of data show that women experience microaggressions at a significantly higher rate than men, making the workplace a mental minefield for many women.
