Our 2017 study, “Women in Leadership: Tackling Corporate Culture from the Top,” found that the American public looks to CEOs to drive changes to corporate culture. Still, this new study finds that male and female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are largely missing from online conversations about the workplace issues that affect women’s experiences at work.
And, despite the fact that workplace gender issues should be of interest to both business journalists and reporters focused on gender and diversity, the business press’ social media activity indicates that it has not yet accepted the effects of workplace gender issues on businesses and their bottom lines.
