Why are experienced women leaving the workforce in record numbers — and what can leaders do to change course?

In this episode of Work Week, Dr. Gabby Burlacu of The Upwork Research Institute digs into the data behind an uptick in women exiting the workplace. Turnover among women isn't about balancing caregiving or other personal priorities, but is rather about outdated systems, stalled promotions, and inflexible work models that push workers out rather than helping them advance.

Explore how slow advancement, pay inequity, and return-to-office mandates disproportionately impact women — and why this isn't simply a retention issue, but a serious business risk. Also learn key shifts leaders can make right now to build workplaces where women stay and thrive.
