Back to Work

After a temporary push to allow workers to do their jobs from home due to COVID, employers are starting to push workers to come back into the workplace. But is that really the best idea?

In today’s episode, Alisa and Ayesha discuss going back to work – why it’s being required, why some employees are pushing back, and what the pitfalls for women are when it comes to inflexible work requirements. 

Listen in to hear Alisa and Ayesha discuss the difficulty of returning to work when there’s still limited childcare available, whether or not you need to go to work in-person to build relationships and what can be done instead, and the importance of being seen at work.
