Spotlight on The Broken Rung: How Early Promotion Shapes Women’s Careers
We look at the barriers women face along the pathway to leadership roles in employment and how the gap widens for Indigenous, racialized and other equity-deserving women.
Women enter the Canadian workforce in equal or greater numbers than men but men advance faster. Do men receive their first promotion earlier? Do they advance in greater numbers? Do Indigenous, racialized, and other equity-deserving women fair even worse? How can HR leaders and people managers evaluate their own practices to achieve equal access to promotions for everyone?
