By Kevin Sneader and Lareina Yee Oct. 15, 2019 12:02 am ET Commitment to gender parity at the senior level in companies has been on the rise, and we are starting to see results. The average C-suite has 24% more women than in 2015. The share of open roles going to women is rising, through either promotions or hiring.
Let that soak in for a moment. That collective stumble on the first step up the corporate ladder suggests that over the next five years, one million women in corporate America will get stuck at the entry level while their male counterparts move into promising career paths. That is equivalent to 14 NFL stadiums full of women.
Companies have the tools to make this happen. We know this because they are using them to crack the “glass ceiling,” increasing the percentage of women at the very top. Now it is time to extend those practices to the rest of the organization. Across the companies we work with, three practices stand out.
• Apply the science of “nudges” to your implementation efforts. Making change stick means shifting day-to-day behaviors. Nudges are simple prompts on daily actions that create more inclusive working experiences for those around you. Examples for managers include sharing the spotlight, curiously seeking out the opinions of others, or speaking up when you see someone withdrawing from a conversation or being interrupted.
What's about black men
And? merit wagegapmyth
38% is a solid number. Most women don’t desire management sooo this seems completely appropriate
I'm a man and couldn't get a decent job for 20 years. Usually interviewed by women.
Are they qualified? Men and women don't just get jobs because they want them! In my business most are women because men don't qualify.
It’s not a gender gap! There are reasons why women choose to delay their careers/ like family! Besides you can make more $$ in sales than management with less headaches. Stop blaming “gender”. We make our own choices and accept the consequences!
Do we have the figures for gender fluid hires?

Maybe 10% made the wise decision to raise their kids instead of leaving it up to someone else!
