The Problem
Women must often overcome inequitable workplace policies and unsupportive family for career development. Although remote work allows women the freedom to manage both work and family domains, stigma rooted in gender-stereotypes dissuades women from utilizing remote work policies and working flexibly.
The Solution
Working from home during the pandemic, has led to some erosion of the stigma attached to remote work. Through the work/family border theory, we explore the new realities for employees working remotely and its positive impact on women’s career development. We argue, organizations can promote women’s careers by capitalizing on employee’s positive experiences with remote work during the pandemic, and support women’s career development even after the pandemic.
The Stakeholders
Stakeholders for this article include colleagues, supervisors, partners, and spouses, who have the power to influence women’s career development, as well as HRD professionals and organizational leaders who implement policies and practices supporting women’s career development.

大流行期间新兴的职业现实:这对妇女的职业发展意味着什么?
问题
妇女必须经常克服不平等的工作场所政策和家庭不支持职业发展。尽管远程工作使妇女可以自由管理工作和家庭领域,但根植于性别刻板印象的污名使妇女无法利用远程工作政策和灵活工作。
解决方案
在大流行期间在家中工作导致了对远程工作的污名的侵蚀。通过工作/家庭边界理论,我们探索了远程工作的员工的新现实及其对女性职业发展的积极影响。我们认为,组织可以通过在大流行期间利用员工在远程工作中的积极经验来促进妇女的职业发展,甚至在大流行之后也可以支持妇女的职业发展。
