Women are crucial to US economic growth. Indeed, since women’s participation in the workforce took off, in the 1970s, their productivity has accounted for about a quarter of current GDP. But women still aren’t reaching their full economic potential. One important reason is that far too many highly skilled women simply don’ t progress up the ladder in corporate America.
A new McKinsey report, Unlocking the full potential of women in the US economy, delves into the details of this well-known phenomenon. The problem isn’t simply a lack of flexible working conditions or support for working mothers. Nor is it an inability to get women into the workforce or women’s desire to opt out; most can’t afford to. Instead, entrenched mind-sets and behaviors—at companies and among women themselves—are two of the biggest culprits in preventing women from advancing. The issue is particularly acute at the transition from middle manager to senior manager, a point when women have proven themselves professionally yet a disproportionate share leave corporate careers. For many, invisible biases become impassable.
Our research included a survey of some 2,500 college-educated men and women. One striking discovery is that women who have progressed from entry-level jobs to middle management, and then from middle management to senior management, have, at each stage, an increasing interest in being leaders and an increasing belief that opportunities exist.
How can companies help more women retain that enthusiasm? Most companies are already working hard to reduce structural problems(such as a lack of role models or access to informal net works)and are trying to shift work practices to meet their employees’ desire for a work-life balance. However, our survey and interviews uncovered some more
insidious
, difficult-to-address problems. These include senior executives’ perceptions that certain jobs just shouldn’t be available to women and a tendency to reward men for their potential but women only for their performance. Many women react to these barriers and biases by reducing their corporate ambitions in favor of achieving greater satisfaction across their lives—and companies lose out entirely.
If women are to reach their full potential in the economy, companies must do at least as much to address those issues as they are doing to address the ones they can more easily see. Helping middle-management women to develop and advance will make the biggest difference because it will begin to reshape the corporate talent pipeline and help companies reach their goal of advancing more women to the top.
According to the passage, middle-management women______.
选项
A、are the most productive force in the company
B、are mostly content with what they have achieved
C、need company’s help to fully realize their potential
D、are willing to face the issues with their companies
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词定位至第五段。由该段第一句可知,要想充分发挥女性在经济方面的潜力,企业必须做出改变,打破固有的壁垒。由此可推断C项“需要公司的帮助以充分发挥她们的潜力”与文意相符,为正确答案。虽然第五段第二句提到帮助女性在工作岗位上更上一层楼对公司大有裨益,但并没有提到女性中层管理人员是公司最具生产力的群体,故排除A项“是公司最具生产力的群体”;第三段第二句提到,女性地位越高,对成为领导就越感兴趣,而不是说女性对目前的职务大都非常满意,故排除B项;文中没有提到女性愿意与公司共同改变现状,故排除D项。
