I'm Colleen Ammerman,
Director of
the Gender Initiative at
Harvard Business School
and I'm going to
share some research
about women's
well-being at work.
Also about the role of bias and
undermining womens'
experiences in the workplace
and also some reflections
on how organizations can address
problems like burnout and
retain and advance
their female employees.

In the late 2010, a
research team that I work
with collected data from
Harvard Business School alumni.
This data collection was part of
an ongoing longitudinal study
of the schools' MBA graduates.
The response rate for this
particular wave was 17%.
The data I'm going to
share with you today is
from those alumni who
are working full-time,
so leaving aside those who
are not working or are
working part-time.
These respondents who
are full-time workers,
are employed in a
variety of industries,
and they're located
around the world,
although the majority
are in the US.
The span generations,
Millennials,
Generation X, Baby Boomers,
they range in age from
their 20s to about 70,
but again, we left out people
who are retired or otherwise
not working full-time from
the data I'm about
to share with you.
What I want to know is
that the survey was
conducted prior to the onset
of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We're really talking about
a level of burnout
and stress that
already existed prior to
the effects of the pandemic
on employee well-being,
which we've heard a lot about.
It gives us a sense of who
was already struggling
before the impacts of an extreme
event like the pandemic.

We asked a set of questions
to understand how
work might be affecting people's
well-being and these were,
how often have you felt
burned out from work?
How often has work had
a negative effect on
your mental health?
And how often has work had
a negative effect on
your physical health?
Then, we focus on the people who
said they had these
negative experiences,
either often or very often.
We're talking about people
for whom work is having
quite a significant
negative impact
on some aspect of
their well-being.
Not just people who have a
tough week here and there,
or maybe we're
having a tough week
the time they happen to take
the survey. What did we find?
