Research shows that, in recent years, there has been a huge uptick in the number of women professionals leaving their roles in the face of myriad employer shortcomings, both to address idiosyncratic needs and in light of certain unconscious biases. Employers must address such concerns better if they are to retain top female talent.
In this episode of The HR Leader Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with freelance general counsel Anna Lozynski about how and why she’s always valued flexible working arrangements for herself, observations of broader take-up of such arrangements by other female professionals, what the Great Break-up is and why it is significant for working women, and the ways in which businesses may be failing their female employees.
Lozynski also delves into the sociocultural and vocational structures that make it difficult for women (and men) to break free of traditional expectations and norms, what female professionals are choosing to do if they leave their employers and why, the influence of family planning, the practical steps that employers must take moving forward to better address staff needs, and why employees need to know their worth.
