Surprised- I would expect that remote work would mitigate child care issues that often stunt women’s careersDirector of IT in Software2 years ago
I think some of the reasons why is because of lack of recognition for the work that women put into a job. Often times women act as advocates for diversity and inclusion initiatives. Sometimes we are looked at as being overly emotional in the workplace or simply put we are fragile which is something that I have heard several times in my career.
Another factor that comes into play is the lack of flexibility and benefits to help them to achieve a better work-life balance.
