How Women Can Steer Toward Growing Industries And Companies

Many workplaces are filled with smart, educated, and hardworking women. However, after being in their careers for several years, many are surprised to find themselves falling behind their colleagues without quite understanding why or how it happened.

The problem isn't that women lack drive. Reports from McKinsey's "Women in the Workplace" and other global surveys show that over the past decade, women have consistently wanted promotions and top roles just as much as men.

New research shows that if employees feel like there's a big unfair gap in pay or how different groups are treated, they're less loyal to their company and more likely to report wrongdoing to outside authorities.

Harvard Business Review outlines the three steps that organizations can take to address this issue.
