Throughout most of 2022 and into 2023, we saw women leaders switching jobs or leaving the workforce at record high rates. The lack of women rising in the workplace had even the most ambitious women walking out the door. This session will use data from the latest Women in the Workplace report from McKinsey & Company, in partnership with LeanIn.Org to discuss why women are leaving the workforce, how employers can combat this, and how we as women can work together to reverse the trend.
