3 ways to help women succeed in the workplace

Women hold less than 30% of senior management roles, according to research by McKinsey & Co. and Lean In.

The study says that this is not down to attrition – both sexes leave their jobs at similar rates. So what is the reason for this shortfall of senior women?

Last week, Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer, Sheryl Sandberg, wrote in the Wall Street Journal about the unconscious bias that is holding women back in the workplace.

"The reason for this pushback [less female CEOs] lies in many of the unconscious assumptions we all hold about women and men," wrote Sandberg, who is also the Founder of Lean In.
