The metaverse, a virtual reality space where users can interact with each other, is supposed to push the workplace to new heights. But as it is now, it’s being bogged down by many long-standing corporate issues, including a lack of diversity.
Recent research from consulting firm McKinsey found that 41% of women have used a primary metaverse platform or participated in a digital world for more than a year, compared to only 34% of men. And while female executives are 20% more likely to implement multiple metaverse initiatives within their organization, women still hold just 8% to 10% of leadership positions at organizations driving metaverse standards.
