Women in the U.S. are being held back in the workplace, thanks to “less sponsorship and manager advocacy,” according to a new annual report.
The 2025 Women in the Workplace Report, published by the advocacy group Lean In and the management consulting group McKinsey & Company, details how a number of companies are “deprioritizing” women’s careers. Some of these companies have even scaled back workplace programs that are beneficial to women, including remote work and targeted career development, according to the report.
