The debate over discussing politics at work continues to be contentious. According to Gallup, while many employees see value in sharing political opinions — 66% feel it enriches their workplace — these conversations can also create divisions. Employees often desire clarity from their organizations on this topic, with 85% advocating for formal policies. Leaders can help by emphasizing a culture of respect and inclusion, fostering trust and understanding between colleagues, and setting expectations for how conversations should be managed.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Women in the Workplace report, the largest study of women in corporate America conducted by McKinsey & Company in partnership with LeanIn.Org. This year's report reflects on the notable gains women have made — and how their experiences at work are, in many ways, the same or worse than ten years ago. Though there are bright spots that suggest many companies have momentum, company commitment to diversity is declining. As we look ahead to the next ten years, the path forward for corporate America is simple: keep going.
