“For women, hybrid or remote work is about a lot more than flexibility. When women work remotely, they face fewer microaggressions and have higher levels of psychological safety.”1
While executives may believe it’s time to come back to the office, there continues to be a debate around flexible work.2 In a 2022 study of 1,612 employees, hybrid work reduced attrition by 33%, was highly valued by employees, and improved job-satisfaction measures.3 This is clearly a multilayered issue. For example, a 2023 systematic review found that employees’ performance while working from home was impacted by the “nature of the work, employer and industry characteristics, and home settings, with a majority reporting a positive impact and few documenting no difference or a negative impact.”4 Nevertheless, an aspect of flexible work not to be overlooked is that it is an equity issue.
