Latinas face the steepest climb up the corporate ladder despite being as ambitious as their white peers, according to new research from Lean In. Latinas lag behind nearly all other major demographic groups in the executive ranks — white men and white women, Black men and women, even Latino men — comprising a mere 1% of C-suite executives at U.S. companies. A "broken rung" at the first critical step up to manager is still holding Latinas back from climbing the corporate ladder — for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 74 Latinas are promoted, Lean In reports. Latinas are less likely than white women and women overall to have their work highlighted to a leader or to have benefited from a sponsor action like being recommended for a promotion. Nearly half (44%) of Latinas say career growth has become more important to them in the last two years, compared with 32% of white women, Lean In reports.

That's where progress often falls short, according to the annual Women in the Workplace study from Lean In and McKinsey. "The 'broken rung' is the biggest barrier to women's advancement," said Rachel Thomas, Lean In's CEO and co-founder. "Companies are effectively leaving women behind from the very beginning of their careers, and women can never catch up." Largely due to systemic bias, women are prevented from getting the same opportunities to advance, Lean In's report found. "Women tend to look for mentors and men tend to look for sponsors who will help them negotiate," she said.

Lean In's CEO said fixing the "broken rung" would mean more women representation in the work pipeline. The report found that "for every 100 men promoted from entry level to manager, 87 women were promoted." "While we have this laser focus typically on the glass ceiling, what we need is a laser focus on the broken rung," Alexis Krivkovich, a senior partner for McKinsey, told Insider. "While companies are increasing women's representation at the top, doing so without addressing the broken rung offers only a temporary stopgap," the report stated. The broken rung doesn't have to be a never-ending problem.

Sheryl Sandberg and her Lean In organization are rolling out a new program for girls ages 11-15, designed to encourage girls to set leadership goals, navigate risk, and identify and challenge bias. Sandberg says she was inspired to create this new initiative because the adult Lean In community is thriving, with 80,000 circles in 183 countries, growing faster than ever before. "Girls in high school are twice as likely as boys to think that having any leadership role will make them be called 'bossy.' "We really want girls to embrace and lean into their superpowers. We want girls to know that they're going to face stereotypes that there's going to be headwinds.

A McKinsey report found that women leaders were leaving their companies in unprecedented numbers. In particular, companies need to prioritize flexible work, invest in career development, and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion, they said. Lareina Yee, McKinsey’s senior partner"Employers need to level the playing field for all workers," Thomas said. Employers also need to invest in professional-development programs for younger women — especially women of color. He said too many employers relied on their women leaders to foster inclusion and support employee well-being without acknowledgement.
