And it\u2019s not surprising that women are more inclined to be job hunting today.<\/p>\n<h4>Rating how appreciated they feel in the workplace<\/h4>\n<p>When examining the degree to which women are valued for their work contributions, women report receiving 17% less recognition than men.<\/p>\n<h4>Represented in senior management<\/h4>\n<p>Women are vastly unrepresented in senior leadership ranks. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalyst.org\/research\/women-in-management\/\">Catalyst Research<\/a>, in 2021, the proportion of women in senior management roles is 31%, the highest number ever recorded \u2013 but far from equitable representation.<\/p>\n<p>That same study found that 26% of all CEO\u2019s and managing directors were women \u2013 a huge jump from only 15% in 2019, but it\u2019s not enough, yet.<\/p>\n<h4>Changes Led by the Financial Industry<\/h4>\n<p>There are some bright spots in that 2017 study. The financial industry outranked all other categories with 30 percent of C-suite jobs held by women. However, the top jobs in this industry continue to lie out of reach &#8211; only 5% of CEOs and 8% of CFO\u2019s are women.<\/p>\n<p>We have a long way to go. The first step &#8211; and maybe the easiest &#8211; is to eliminate the salary gap.
