Abstract
The flexibility of working from home is attractive to women as they can both be "mommy" and worker. While this is a benefit, it also reduces their opportunities to network and take on stretch assignments that aid career advancement, promotions, and salary increases. As women try to do it all, they become exhausted and can only keep up with what they already have, let alone try to take on further responsibility at work. They take advantage of the hybrid model by working only a few days in the office and the rest of the week at home. Men are more likely to work in the office five days a week, which causes a more significant workplace presence of men than women. Men enjoy networking opportunities and chances to prove themselves while women juggle their work with the demands of family and home. This article explores the impact of remote work on women's mental health, pay, and career opportunities and recommends actions organizations can take to support them.
