Columbia Business School research finds Black and white workers quit jobs for different reasons, highlighting racial disparities

Prior to 2009, women made up only 8 percent of the directors of U.S. corporate boards. By 2019, the figure increased to 19 percent among public firms, but for private firms it was roughly unchanged. Despite mandates, goals, and rhetoric, progress toward board diversity is what commentators have referred to as "glacial." New research affiliated with the Reuben Mark Initiative for Organizational Character and Leadership under the auspices of the Bernstein Center for Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School examines a critical factor for achieving and sustaining a faster pace of change.

The gender pay gap is a hot topic among business leaders, policy makers and the public. The difference between men’s and women’s salaries is a clear-cut measure of gender equity. Yet, it doesn’t tell the whole story. A limited focus on pay excludes the value of non-pay job attributes, such as benefits, hours flexibility and other amenities. New research affiliated with the Reuben Mark Initiative for Organizational Character and Leadership under the auspices of the Bernstein Center for Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School explores these non-pay attributes, which are often valued differently by men and women in the labor force. Thus, policies that strive to improve gender equity in the workplace must include both pay and non-pay aspects of employment. However, measuring the relative importance of non-pay attributes in the labor market is notoriously challenging.
