A recent study from the University of Toronto reveals that remote work serves as a protective shield against gender discrimination for women. Analyzing over 1,000 professional women, the researchers discovered a marked decrease in incidents of gender discrimination from 31% in physical workplaces to 17% in remote settings. Notably, young women and those in male-dominated environments reported even higher levels of discrimination while on-site. The data suggests a need for companies to consider these disparities as they transition employees back to office work, emphasizing the importance of maintaining remote work options.
"We found that the likelihood of experiencing gender discrimination while on-site was 58%, compared to 26% when working remotely. This indicates substantial differences in workplace dynamics based on location."
"It's rare to uncover a finding that applies so consistently across so many people working under so many different conditions. It didn't matter how we sliced the data."
