The pandemic has changed everything we thought we knew about the workplace and has had a dramatic impact on the number and status of women leaders in talent pipelines around the world. According to McKinsey & Company's 2021 Women in the Workplace report, "one in three women has considered leaving the workforce or downshifting their careers—a significant increase from one in four in the first few months of the pandemic." The temporary disruption to everyone's work lives has proven to be a long-lasting one for many women and one that is affecting the makeup of leadership teams.
