Moreover, eight of ten are considering careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), slowly changing the narrative from the “Great Resignation” to the “Great Reevaluation.”īryan Froud, Director at Consulting JLL, highlighted the importance of women choosing to work from home or in the office. The 2020 MetLife survey, on the other hand, reported that two in three women are planning to return to the workforce. At the same time, they test her now and then to make sure she is healthy,” she added. So, what they did was provide her medicines and vitamins. Although the company insisted that she stays at home in the meantime, her job wouldn’t allow her to. My friend is currently pregnant, and our boss provided her with a workspace she could move around easily. We would always go to the office with our big belly sticking out despite the cold weather. Way before the pandemic, the company did not give importance to our health, especially to the pregnant women in our office. Jenny Jacobs from Energy Drink Hub shared her experience on the matter by saying, “I recently shifted from a work from home set-up to the office set-up, and it has never been better.
That’s why we introduced the Spill App for mental health support and Donut for causal meetups (interaction during the pandemic),” she adds. However, it is not just organization and childcare that affected women during the pandemic. The loss of childcare during the pandemic has been extremely difficult on families, but Latana has allowed parents to take special leave. We have many employees that start and finish at different times and take extended breaks during the day, to facilitate those needs. Therefore, we provide the ability to make your own hours to ease the burden. Head of content at Latana, Joy Corkery, shared how their company addressed this issue by saying, “Women have traditionally had a more difficult time accommodating family and work. Childcare responsibilities and taking care of the elderly were a few of the most common reasons women walked out. Thus, it is no surprise that women-led the so-called “Great Resignation,” especially women managers. One in three women considers leaving the workforce or downshifting their careers.
High burnout rates for women at all times. Working moms of young children, especially when they are gender “onlys” in the company, face even more workplace challenges. The same can be said for women with disabilities, lesbian and bisexual women, and women who are “ onlys ,” i.e., only people of their gender or race in the company. Women of color have an even worse experience at work, facing more microaggressions and being even more underrepresented. But still, even with these statistics in mind and alongside companies’ promise to abandon gender discrimination in the workplace, in many cases, gender equality is just that – a promise.
