Introduction

Burn-out in the workplace is an omnipresent state for so many of us, but especially so for women who tend to take on the responsibilities of home as well. This could lead to attrition which means leaders face a potential talent crisis if stress in their workplace goes unaddressed. This discovery and many others are explored in the recently released, "Women in the workplace 2021" report. Hear from two of its authors, McKinsey senior partners Alexis Krivkovich and Lareina Yee. Following, hear senior partner, Sven Smit, share his "rookie moment" when about twenty years ago, he asked for the unusual - time off to care for his young daughter.
