Session: Why Women Have More To Gain From Remote Work
Studies show that women earn 20% more money when they wear makeup to work. One gender rolls out of bed, bare-faced and respected, while the other needs to paint, pluck, powder, and preen before they’re considered qualified.Remote work allows women to bypass gender discrimination in the office and be judged for our competence, expertise, and intelligence. It also allows us autonomy, improved work-life balance, and more flexible childcare options, which have the potential to boost work satisfaction and close the gender pay gap.
Key Takeaways
- Recognize how appearance bias affects the way women are judged, paid, and promoted, and how remote work can bypass that.
- Understand how flexibility and autonomy can improve job satisfaction and reduce burnout for women in tech.
- Learn how remote work can help close the gender pay gap by keeping women in the workforce and on their career tracks.
