A recent study from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management highlights how returning employees to physical workplaces may negatively impact women’s experiences of gender discrimination. In a survey of over 1,000 professional women, researchers found that while working onsite, 31% reported experiencing gender discrimination compared to only 17% when working remotely. The analysis indicated that women working predominantly with men are at a higher risk of experiencing this discrimination, emphasizing that younger women, particularly, face increased likelihoods of bias in physical workspaces versus remote arrangements.
Having staff physically in the workplace benefits companies and employees through stronger team collaboration and informal mentorship.
The likelihood of experiencing gender discrimination while on-site was 58%, compared to 26% when working remotely.
