Breaking the Bias: How Females Can Thrive In The Workplace in 2025

Over the past 100-odd years, women have played a critical role in the ever-changing labor force. According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, 57.3% of women are now in the workforce and 68% of men, yet despite this representation, only 24% of women hold high management C-suite positions.With this lack of women in prominent senior positions, alongside other gender-related issues, including the gender pay gap and prevalence of harassment towards women at work, it is clear there are still leaps and bounds to be made by industry leaders and organizations to better promote gender equality in the workplace.The good news is that some steps can also be taken by female business leaders who are looking to voice and fight these issues, take charge of their careers, and grow their business or influence in the industry.The path to advancing in the industry looks different for everyone – a marketing professional may look to broaden their network by attending conferences, while a social worker completes an online Master of Social Work to get a higher certification.
