Will the post-Covid workplace be good or bad for women? We asked a group of powerful women this week who had a range of answers, and a number of solutions that might help us chart a better path forward 👇
One topic that kept coming up: Flexibility, and the question of whether it will help or hurt women.
But one participant wasn’t so sure, separating out the question of what flexibility will mean for women individually from what it would mean for gender equality in the workplace on a broader scale. “Flexibility has always hurt women’s careers,” she said. “It has made it harder for women to reach the highest levels … or it has pushed women out when they couldn’t get it.”
“It’s certainly happened to me,” Anne-Marie Slaughter responded. “I think of it as the butterfly syndrome, where you say something and nobody pays attention” — it sits on the table like a chrysalis — “and then a man says the same thing, and it takes wings.” While this won’t help in all instances — for instance, those in which you’re the only women on the team — it’s one strategy to keep in mind.At one roundtable on overhauling the workplace after Covid-19, one participant said her company changed the role of leaders during the pandemic and made it a central part of their job to understand what was going on for every individual on the team.
