#flexiblework
It is hardly a coincidence that the #demographic which benefited most from the old system (traditional 9-to-5 work at an office) has also expressed the most anxiety about changing it. https://fortune-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/fortune.com/2023/05/14/flexible-work-feminist-women-return-office-power-men-careers-erin-grau/amp/ #WFH #WorkFromHome #ReturnToTheOffice #FlexibleWork #HybridWork
"#FlexibleWork is #feminist; women won’t return to a system that hasn't served them well"
+💯!! IMO #WfH / #WfWW is the #FutureOfWork in large part coz it empowers many marginalized groups *and* helps biz hire many amazing people who can't do 9-5 IRL!
A lot of shared-workspace conflict—from battles over the thermostat, to differing levels of comfort with a pet-friendly workplace, to whether it's ever ok to microwave fish—could be solved by letting everyone who wants to stay remote stay remote permanently.

[I am fortunate that my schedule is asynchronous, and I much appreciate the opportunities it presents - BUT recognise that I can't be 'greedy' / 'selfish', remembering any high priority work commitments during 'standard hours' MUST be respected]

As leaders continue to call for the #ReturnToOffice, new data shows #workers at companies with #FlexibleWork policies—where #RemoteWork is welcome and #employees have the opportunity to go to an office—say the compromise is working. Employees with flexible work models surveyed by #FutureForum were 57% more likely to say their company #culture has improved over the past two years compared to fully in-person workers—citing flexible work policies as the primary reason their culture is improving.
I wish we could all have this option.
For those working full-time, only having 2 days off a week to physically and mentally recharge after a 5 day work week can be very challenging. It's almost never enough for me.

The number of #employers offering paid #MaternityLeave beyond what is required by law dropped from 53% in 2020 to 35% this year. By reneging #FlexibleWork and #childcare, they are making it plain: Retaining and advancing #women is not a priority for them. https://www.fastcompany.com/90840738/workplaces-are-returning-to-the-pre-pandemic-status-quo?partner=rss&utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=rss+fastcompany&utm_content=rss

"Sir Dyson can claim that productivity is hampered by flexible working, but in my view, it’s panicked patter from a business relic. The only concern that he and other flexible working naysayers appear to have is filling the empty office space that hangs around their capitalist necks." #RemoteWork #FlexibleWork #WFH https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/james-dyson-flexible-working-covid-b2244154.html

A friend of mine said that three years of COVID restrictions would result in permanent change in the way we work.
I think that sounds about right.
