The Diversity & Inclusion Gap: Why RTO Isn't One Size Fits All
New data reveals that the push back to the office is impacting your workforce unevenly. For Irish Financial Services, the RTO mandate is creating a significant gender-based divide:
69% of women report increased levels of stress and burnout due to in-office mandates, compared to 58% of men.
Only 10% of female respondents feel more productive in an office setting, and 62% report lower productivity when forced back to the desk.
28% of women feel there is less support for women and minorities in the current office environment—more than double the rate reported by men (12%).
With 51% of women juggling caregiving responsibilities alongside their roles, inflexible RTO policies are disproportionately threatening the progress of female leadership in finance.
