Open to Work is coming to Reddit! Ryan Roslansky and I wrote this book to start a new conversation around where work is going in the age of AI and to help us all know what to do to - right now - to manage this moment of big change. Along the way, we had the chance to hear from workers of all backgrounds and career stages who are navigating career pivots, unexpected job challenges, and building entirely new kinds of work for themselves and their teams. Those lived experiences shaped the book as much as any other research or reporting. I'm hosting my first ever Reddit AMA on April 2nd at 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET. I’ll be taking your questions, sharing advice, and might even tell a few stories that didn’t make it into the final version of the book. 🔗 Join me here: https://lnkd.in/AneeshAMA

Our latest report takes a closer look at the state of women in leadership, and the findings are clear 📊 Women represent 44% of the global workforce, yet hold just 31% of leadership roles worldwide. At every step up the promotion ladder, representation declines. The most significant drop occurs between the Vice President and the C-Suite, where female representation falls by 30%. The gap also varies widely by industry, even in sectors where women make up a substantial share of the workforce; leadership parity remains out of reach. There’s progress to celebrate, but there’s also work to do. Read the full report (link in comments) #IWD26

I recently spoke at LinkedIn’s Talent Connect in Paris where I shared three big shifts shaping the future of work in France. 🛎️ Economic uncertainty is meeting rapid technological change, creating real tension in the labor market. 📉 Hiring remains sluggish – still 17% below pre‑pandemic levels. 📈 AI is accelerating the “new‑collar” era – a rising generation of talent strong in both advanced tech skills and uniquely human strengths.
