Remote work 'a refuge' from gender discrimination, study finds
Briefly

A recent study highlights the consistent prevalence of on-site gender discrimination, posing risks to women's job satisfaction and increasing burnout. Research shows that women face unique challenges in traditional office environments, which can lead to retention issues and decreased team performance. While remote work offers some respite, experts caution against merely shifting women away from on-site roles without addressing the underlying biases. The need for management to confront gender discrimination directly is emphasized, as men disproportionately benefit from in-office engagement and support, suggesting a gender disparity in workplace dynamics.
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.
Over time, this could make it harder to retain talented employees and could negatively affect team performance.
It's important to consider why women would be experiencing gender discrimination in the first place. I would encourage managers who learn about this research to do the hard work of addressing gender discrimination...
Data showed that men benefit disproportionately from working on-site... They felt more connected to the organization's mission and received the mentorship they needed.
