Burnout and some aspects of hybrid work are improving for women as they flock to the workforce, but flexibility still a pain point. Read on.
Still, that’s mostly good news for the Canadian labour market, because economists have identified women as a key source of talent to fill all those vacant positions, and a record number of them have come back to work during the past year. In March, thewas 82 per cent, just off the record high of 82.2 per cent set in January.
Women say access to mental-health services through work is worse than last year, and 53 per cent say they’re more stressed out than before. They’re also struggling to keep thoughts about their jobs from leaking into their personal time, with 34 per cent saying they’re having difficulty “switching off,” compared to 45 per cent last year. At the same time, many are single-handedly doing the bulk of the household chores, such as cleaning, cooking and caring for children.
Despite these fears, employers that offer adaptive schedules reap the benefits. For example, 56 per cent of women who have high flexibility at work say they’re planning to stay at their jobs for the next three to five years, while only 36 per cent of those without flexibility say the same. Other research has also proven that women stay loyal to employers that give them the ability to adjust their hours or work location as needed.
