Is there a gender gap when it comes to promotions?Women in the U.S. hold more than half of entry-level roles, but workforce studies have shown that women are less likely to be hired into certain senior-level leadership roles — and may encounter fewer opportunities for career advancement as a result. That trend appears to hold true for women seeking non-leadership positions as well: The latest findings from LinkedIn's Economic Graph show that, among U.S. workers in non-management roles, a greater share of men are promoted into more senior-level jobs than women in a given year.An analysis of entry-level workers over the past five years found that 10.26% of men moved into a more senior position after one year, compared to 10.02% of women. That means for every 1,000 men working an entry-level job, about 103 will receive a promotion in a given year — compared to just 100 of every 1,000 women. At a national level, this gap represents tens of thousands more men getting promoted annually than women.Senior, non-management employees also experience a small but noticeable gender gap, with 5.32% of men moving on to a more senior role one year later compared to 5.18% of women.Do these findings line up with what you would expect to see? What can employers do to encourage women who want to advance their careers?✍️: Rachel Cromidas📊: Caroline Liongosari, Matthew Baird

Does stress from work spill into your relationship? Here’s how to ensure it doesn’t:Frame any work conversation as “stress-reducing,” say psychologists John Gottman and Julie Gottman (The Gottman Institute).So what’s a stress reducing conversation?“You tell your partner what was stressful for you at work and your partner does not try to fix it, because that can feel condescending,” says Julie. “You are smart enough to have your own answers to your problems at work. What you really need is someone to care about what you experience and to show that care by listening and empathizing with what you felt.”John adds, “This ensures nobody feels alone.”Listen to Leah Smart's full conversation with The Gottman's:Apple: https://lnkd.in/gstGuRNVSpotify: https://lnkd.in/gpW8DpuN
