HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE RESEARCH:
Many organizations lack gender diversity in their leadership ranks
Although women joined the workforce at higher rates than men in 2021,2 they are often under-represented in the leadership ranks, a situation commonly known to as the “glass ceiling” and, recently, the “concrete ceiling''. To investigate this trend, we asked respondents about gender diversity among their leaders. About half of respondents (47%) say women represent no more than 40% of their organization’s people managers. Another 26% say women make up 41% to 60% of people managers. On the other end of the spectrum, more than a quarter (28%) say women represent 61% or more of their organization’s people managers. These findings suggest that women continue to be under-represented in the leadership ranks of many organizations.
About two-fifths incorporate DEI into their strategic planning process
About two-fifths agree or strongly agree that DEI plays a role in strategic planning (44%). However, slightly fewer make DEI initiatives quite visible to the workforce (41%) and formally integrate their DEI frameworks into their business strategies (32%). Given that few companies are incorporating DEI into talent management, onboarding and benefits processes and that DEI effectiveness overall is so low, it is possible that many organizations are leaving out key DEI elements in their strategic plans and are not spending adequate time integrating their frameworks into their business objectives. This lack of adequate planning makes it more difficult for DEI to be truly visible to their workforces.
