The Try Catch Essentials Newsletter is sent to your inbox 8x per month with a new episode following a sub-topic of the month’s theme.

In ep. 5 of 8, we’re highlighting Women in the Workplace  - taking a look at the developments of female inclusion in the tech industry and beyond.

If this series floats your boat, we’d ♥ it if you’d share or forward this newsletter to someone who might also enjoy it.

Founded by Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, whose 2010 TEDTalk inspired a book and an organization of the same name, Lean In, in partnership with McKinsey & Co, have just published their 2019 annual report on Women in the Workplace.

While women make up an approximate half of the entry level work-force, it’s at the managerial promotion phase that men begin to overtake the lion’s share of senior positions.

While corporate America has been getting better at employing women at senior levels, women remain to be underrepresented at each and every level in the workforce.

You can read the key takeaways on the Lean In: Women in the Workplace landing page.

However, the essential read - one in the series of special reports concerning the study by the Wall Street Journal - adds much more context and information to these findings.

We’ll be in your inbox again this time Thursday morning at 9:10 discussing Inclusive Leadership.

We’ll peak into what traits make up an inclusive leader and where to focus resources to nurture these traits.

Feedback is incredibly important to us, hit reply or email kerry@trycatch.tech with any comments, suggestions, or to share your recommendations of taco spots in Mexico City.

See you Monday!
