Companies that violate trust get ‘canceled.’ Are businesses reducing digital risks?
On Point
Our research on digital trust Edited by Alexandra Mondalek
Associate Editor, New York• At risk. Many leaders are highly confident in their company’s ability to establish digital trust, the belief that an organization will protect consumer data, and offer ethical AI-powered products and services. But that assuredness is largely unfounded. Nearly 90% of executives say that they are at least somewhat effective at reducing digital risks. However, less than a quarter report that their organizations are actively mitigating a variety of digital risks across most of their organizations, note McKinsey senior partners Alex Singla, Kate Smaje, and colleagues.

Getting beyond bureaucracy in human resources
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
An antidote to questionnaire overload and multipage templates Getting beyond bureaucracy in human resources
Corporate HR processes are famously complex and time consuming, and corporate HR departments are famously overstaffed. One reason for the bloat might be that many companies have forgotten the business rationale for HR processes. But there’s an antidote to massive HR systems, questionnaire overload, and multipage templates: understanding the function’s strategic goal.
High-quality, timely information about talent pools and gaps, for example, is a competitive advantage that HR is uniquely able to provide. A grocery manager in a global retailer may have proved her value in Argentina, say, just as an important job opens up in Mexico. An oil and gas company could have both a leader who’s running out of growth headroom in the Middle East and a need for someone with similar expertise for a bigger role in Houston. And as digitization becomes more important to cars, an automaker that has long recruited large numbers of mechanical engineers may not have enough software experts or know where to find them. HR can ensure that these connections get made and help executives seize the moment.
It’s easy to say that HR should get out of the way, but the pendulum can swing too far in that direction. Read our classic 2015 article “Getting beyond bureaucracy in human resources.”Learn how HR can help companies realize their goals Mili Bustamante and Neel Gandhi, “Human resources in the age of automation”

Building organizational resilience in volatile times
The Shortlist
Create a framework Edited by Barbara Tierney
Senior Editor, New YorkThis week, we offer a strategic way forward for organizations beset by global challenges. Plus, a look at food loss through the journey of the humble tomato, and McKinsey partner Duwain Pinder on how to build racial and ethnic equity in US higher education.
The decades-long orthodoxy of globalization is under strain as the world continues to face shocks: war, inflation, the long tail of the pandemic. According to a recent McKinsey survey of global economic conditions, CEOs continue to view geopolitical instability and supply chain disruptions as among the top threats to global growth. These challenges (and others yet unknown) may become more acute as the competition for global influence rises in the years ahead.
An analytical approach. CEOs need to know whether they can still remain global players and, if so, how. One way to respond in the face of fragmentation and uncertainty is by intensifying focus on resilience. Of course, global executives have an intuitive sense of where to focus initially to build this skill into their organizations. Now, however, many are looking for a more rigorous and analytical approach. In a recent article, senior partner Andrew Grant and his colleagues focus on six dimensions where CEOs can challenge their organizations to build resilience: business model, reputation, organization, operations, technology, and finance.
Concrete actions. In the case of business model resilience, they write that the board can take the lead in developing an understanding of geopolitical developments that are material to the organization. Boards can identify priority risks by creating a tiered approach, with tier five reflecting markets with the highest level of geopolitical risk and tier one denoting markets with localized risks that can be managed by local leadership and teams. A mechanism can be established for internal teams—legal, security, finance, risk, and communications—to assess the aggregate risk of operating in a particular market and offer options to recalibrate the organization’s presence.
You were an author of a recent report on racial and ethnic equity in US higher education. What did the research reveal?
These findings are not novel, but what is significant is the slow rate of progress in driving inclusive growth. For Black and Native American students and for faculty from all underrepresented populations, there was effectively no progress from 2013 to 2020.
The analysis suggests that higher education has opportunities to address these gaps. What are some of the key ways to make progress?
Three focus areas are recruiting more first-time students from these populations, driving up completion rates, and creating a more diverse faculty. Several strategies can help. First, reflecting on an institution’s role in these inequities can create an environment of intellectual and psychological honesty. After a comprehensive review, institutions can identify how processes, systems, and norms contribute to the marginalization of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. For instance, universities could incorporate processes designed to boost racial equity in their administration of research and grant activities or implement strategies to reduce disparities in their local community.
Institutions can then embed new racial-equity priorities into their culture. That involves incorporating equity as part of the strategic plan, dedicating sufficient resources to the effort, and assigning a senior leader and staff to support the president or chancellor in implementing ideas and tracking progress. Clear and frequent communication with stakeholders—including alumni, staff, and donors—at each stage of this work will ensure that people in every part of the institution and its extended community are progressing together toward a shared goal.
You’ve done a lot of work with historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). How can their unique position help Black Americans make economic progress?
The US racial wealth gap is the product of several factors, including intergenerational transfers, lower incomes, and a lack of financial inclusion. Yet, our data show that a strong HBCU network could increase Black worker incomes by about $10 billion in addition to strengthening the economy with $1.2 billion in incremental business profit, $300 million in decreased student-loan debt, and $1 billion in additional consumer expenditures.
In your role as a leader of the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility, what are you really excited about?

What could life be like in the 2030s?
On Point
McKinsey leaders envision the next decade Edited by Belinda Yu
Editor, Atlanta• Your rocket is boarding. The COVID-19 pandemic launched companies and industries into an era of head-spinning change. With businesses going digital in a matter of days, the next decade could bring more innovation than at any other time in our modern history. What might life look like in the 2030s? For one thing, imagine boarding a rocket in New York and landing in Paris 30 minutes later. That’s the premise of point-to-point transport, and just one way that the concept of space could support life down on Earth, says McKinsey’s Jesse Klempner.
• Electric air taxis. In the next decade, expect electric flying vehicles to become an accessible, seamless, and common way to travel, reveal McKinsey partners Kersten Heineke and Robin Riedel. For the same price as a taxi, electric air taxis could land in people’s neighborhoods, routinely ferrying travelers and cargo within a 100-mile radius. In our multimedia series, The Next Normal, McKinsey leaders and business executives envision what the future may hold. Explore our new interactive and consider how life might change.

How to attract and retain talent amid the Great Attrition
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Confront the issues Edited by Joyce Yoo
Digital Editor, New YorkPeople are still quitting their jobs. Some are leaving the workforce entirely. Companies are continuing to struggle to fill positions. As the Great Attrition persists, what can employers do to find and retain talent? In a new episode of The McKinsey Podcast, associate partner Bonnie Dowling digs into the latest McKinsey research on this topic. She delves into the five worker personas of those who left their jobs—the traditionalists, the do-it-yourselfers, the idealists, the caregivers, and the relaxers—and what companies can do to attract them. Tune in and confront the attrition problem.

Put an end to dead-end work. Here are some how-tos.
Intersection
Say yes to the no Edited by Justine Jablonska
(she/her/hers)
Editor, New YorkInsights and strategies to nurture diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. In your mailbox every two weeks.
Welcome to the new Intersection!
We’ve redesigned and revamped our newsletter to bring you the latest, most relevant information on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues.
Successful companies know that inclusive workplaces are healthier and more effective. And as a leader, you want to help create environments where people feel they belong. But DEI matters can sometimes feel daunting, and it may seem simpler to avoid dealing with them altogether rather than to risk offending those you want to support and uplift.
At Intersection, we invite you to join an objective conversation about how to address DEI openly—and to act on it effectively.
In this issue, we look at some of the burdens facing women in the workplace. Already plagued by burnout at home and in the office, many women also find themselves sidelined into doing tasks that don’t necessarily advance their careers. It’s a common situation but fortunately one that leaders can help correct right away.
As we explore DEI in the coming weeks, we would love to hear from you. Let us know your thoughts on what you have read here or if you would like to know more about a particular topic. Drop us a line or three, and stay in touch.SPOTLIGHT
Women are feeling more burned out than ever before—even as productivity across corporate America soars to record-high levels. And it’s women who are helping to lead this burst in productivity, according to McKinsey senior partners Alexis Krivkovich and Lareina Yee in an episode of The McKinsey Podcast on the state of burnout for women in the workplace. Women are “stepping in … to be the type of leaders that companies say they most need and most value,” says Krivkovich. Women are doing more than their male peers to help their fellow employees navigate turbulent times, are 60 percent more likely to focus on providing emotional support, and tend to shoulder more household tasks than men do. But as a result: “Frankly, women are hanging on,” says Yee. “And that is probably the most blunt and simple way to put it.” And for LGBTQ+ women and women of color, the barriers to success and advancement are even steeper. Hear more from Krivkovich and Yee about the startling but also hopeful findings—including the positive impact of allyship and sponsorship—about women in the workplace.
DATA DROP
Women who are mothers are considering downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce altogether, according to LeanIn.Org and McKinsey’s latest Women in the Workplace research. And women are significantly more likely to consider taking these steps than men. PS Watch this space: Our 2022 Women in the Workplace report drops October 18.
IN THE NEWS
If you find yourself frequently taking notes at meetings, organizing your company’s holiday party, or being stuck with a low-revenue client, you are likely doing a nonpromotable task (NPT). These are the behind-the-scenes duties that keep companies running but likely won’t get recognized during performance reviews or in promotion decisions. Women tend to do more NPTs, but turning down these jobs can be tricky, since doing so often involves challenging deep-seated expectations about who does what in the workplace. Here are three ways to say no.
LISTEN IN
‘Women aren’t the problem,’ says Lise Vesterlund, coauthor of The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work. “Organizational practices are.” She and her coauthors researched why dead-end work is hurting women’s careers—and damaging their organizations’ productivity and profitability at the same time. The authors also explore why so many women say yes to dead-end work: a massive, collective expectation that they will say yes. So they do. And that contributes to the persistent gender gap in advancement. Because when it comes time for promotion, these dead-end tasks can’t compete with higher-profile work or make enough of an impact on women’s careers. We spoke with Vesterlund as part of McKinsey’s Author Talks series to learn more and to ask what businesses can do to reverse this trend.
MAKE IT RIGHT
Vesterlund shares the following tip for organizations trying to be more equitable about who takes on NPTs: “We put names in a hat and draw out a name at random—it’s so obviously fair that nobody objects. These small changes can really help the organization improve the allocation of work.”

Think you know ESG? Skeptics say it’s a muddled concept, but here’s why it still matters.
On Point
Updating ESG for a new era Edited by Seth Stevenson
Senior Editor, New York• Backlash builds. Although more than 90% of S&P 500 companies now publish ESG reports, backlash seems to be building. Critics describe ESG as a “woke washing” sideshow that distracts from a company’s core efforts. Yet many companies today make major decisions in response to societal concerns and commit to science-based targets. Businesses charged with creating long-term value must address externalities such as greenhouse-gas emissions, say McKinsey senior partners Lucy Pérez, Hamid Samandari, and colleagues.

Tapping into opportunities in the US wellness market
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Read new insights Edited by Joyce Yoo
Digital Editor, New YorkAre mindfulness apps, skincare products, fitness wearables, and vitamins a regular part of your life? If so, you are not alone—Americans are spending more than $450 billion on wellness products and services and the market is growing at more than 5 percent annually. As more innovative products and players enter the market, it is clear that wellness is a major priority for consumers and investors alike—yet the current offerings are not sufficiently meeting the needs of some groups including millennials and Black consumers. What can companies do to fill these unmet needs? A new article by McKinsey senior partners Martin Lösch, Warren Teichner, and their coauthors helps identify the gaps by laying out the nuances and trends of this booming market. Give it a read and explore the opportunities.
Quote of the day
