For a first-generation female professional (FGP), entrepreneurship can begin inside a job, because asking for referrals, naming accomplishments, building support, and aligning work with purpose are all forms of career ownership.
Women are still more likely to do the work that keeps organizations moving—without receiving the visibility they deserve. A recent workplace survey highlights how recognition practices continue to lag behind the reality of their contributions.
“This year, only half of companies are prioritizing women’s career advancement, part of a several-year trend in declining commitment to gender diversity. And for the first time, there is a notable ambition gap: women are less interested in being promoted than men. When women receive the same career support that men do, this gap in ambition to advance falls away. Yet women at both ends of the pipeline are still held back by less sponsorship and manager advocacy.”
