Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, a gender disparity in remote work persists, with 36% of women working from home versus 29% of men. Survey data suggests CEOs will reward in-office attendance with promotions. Remote work engagement has declined over the years; by June 2025, only 27% of people will work remotely, down from over 60% in May 2020. Most CEOs anticipate a return to traditional in-office work soon, emphasizing the need for equitable opportunities and career management for remote workers.
Following several waves of return-to-office company mandates, 36% of women are continuing to work from home, compared to 29% of men, according to new Labor Department data.
CEOs predict that number may change again, with 79% envisioning corporate employees whose roles were traditionally based in-office to be back in the physical workplace in the next three years.
Companies still have a responsibility to provide equitable opportunity for everyone, regardless of location, said Jen Morris, an executive job search coach.
While remote workers often highlight their ability to stay focused at home away from chatty coworkers, the question of whether they're truly more productive than in-office employees remains up for debate.
