Statistics and Trends
Gender Gap In Leadership
According to a McKinsey & Company study, women make up only 26% of C-suite, 36% of senior manager / director positions, despite representing 48% of entry-level roles. This disparity underscores the importance of assertive communication training to help women navigate barriers and advance in their careers.
Gender Pay Gap
The World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2022 reveals that it will take 132 years to reach full global gender parity. In North America, it will take 59 years to close the gender gap. The US gender pay gap is 18%. The global gender wealthy gap for leadership roles stands at 38%. This indicates that women need to develop effective communication skills to advocate for equal pay and opportunities.
Gender Bias
Research by Catalyst reveals that women continue to face gender bias and stereotypes at work, which can result in negative consequences when they assert themselves. This demonstrates the need for workshops that teach women how to navigate these biases and communicate assertively without facing backlash.
Psychological Safety
A study by Google's Project Aristotle found that psychological safety, which includes the ability to speak up without fear of retribution, is a key component of high-performing teams. Workshops focused on helping women develop the skills to speak up safely can contribute to improved team performance and innovation.
Diversity & Inclusion
A McKinsey report, "Diversity Wins", indicates that companies with more diverse leadership teams are 36% more likely to outperform their less diverse counterparts in terms of profitability. Encouraging women to develop assertive communication skills can help organizations create more diverse and inclusive workplaces, which can lead to increased financial performance.
Employee Engagement
Gallup research shows that engaged employees are more productive, profitable, and less likely to leave their jobs. By fostering an environment where women feel empowered to communicate assertively and openly, organizations can boost employee engagement and retention.
