In honor of International Women’s Day, we are pleased to share some of the work our talent attraction team is doing to support McKinsey’s deep and long-standing commitment to advancing women in the workplace and in society. As a firm, we have invested in years of research, such as our annual Women in the Workplace report, and have innovated our own talent practices, including facilitating support networks and creating sponsorship and professional development opportunities for women. One program at the intersection of our efforts to innovate for ourselves and to support women’s leadership more broadly is our Next Generation Women Leaders program. Launched in 2012, NGWL serves two purposes at once: it is an important source of outstanding women candidates for the firm and an effective leadership development program for all participants, regardless of whether they apply.
