As women remain underrepresented in manufacturing jobs, Kweilin Ellingrud, a senior partner at McKinsey & Company, and Kelly Coyne, the vice president of Global Women’s Strategies, Impax Asset Management LLC and Pax Ellevate Management LLC, will focus the March 4 PPWLN breakfast event on Financial Empowerment and Fixing the Broken Rung. With a deep dive into the McKinsey Global Institute’s “Women in the Workplace 2019” report, Ellingrud and Coyne will explore inclusiveness and workplace diversity, which, when embraced, results in financial empowerment for individuals and the organization as a whole.

 

The Women in the Workplace 2019 report reveals that it is not the glass ceiling preventing gender parity in the workplace, but the broken rung effect. According to the report, the biggest obstacle facing women is the first step up to manager, resulting in many remaining at the entry-level. Companies must fix the “broken rung” to ensure gender parity – and address the growing skills gap.
