Abstract : Remote, Hybrid, In-person: Much of the discussion around workplace flexibility has centred on where work takes place. But for organizations that want to retain and engage women in the workforce, when work takes place is emerging as one of the new priorities. For the past three years, employers and employees have had to adapt to the dramatic implications the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the way we work. This has been a developing picture as countries started to reopen, with some companies initially embracing hybrid working, others going fully remote, and others demanding a return to the office. As organizations continue to evolve their hybrid and flexible work strategies, they will need to consider how leadership styles and employee support structures can be adjusted to align with these ways of working.
