How RTO Mandates Are Affecting Caregivers

from CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel · host tentwentytwo / Culture Partners

In today’s episode: 212,000 women have left the workforce since the beginning of the year. That's a result of the return-to-office movement and the disproportionate burden of caregiving that falls to women. The wave of RTO mandates was poorly thought-out and fundamentally misunderstands culture and productivity. Leaders should be able to lead without micromanaging employees at their desks. Flexible workplaces allowed us to tap into a workforce of women who made talented employees and leaders--and now, we're losing them. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
