The corporate feminism hot term of 2024 is âThe Broken Rung.â In this episode, we review what the broken rung is,and how corporate feminists got it wrong with the glass ceiling metaphor initially. Also, we are curious if you are as dissatisfied with the advice for companyâs the women in the workplace report provided, or if itâs just us! We get into what we think corporations could do if they really wanted to address the broken rung and increase diversity across all levels in corporate America.
