I worked on a remote work program for a large company about a decade ago. One of the objectives was to improve retention of female professionals.
Women have two heavy drivers for leaving the workforce - pregnancy/early childhood (age 20-35) and caregiving (45-60). This is a big deal, as when you lose a skilled attorney, engineer, or product manager, it’s difficult to replace them.
Offering work flexibility was projected to reduce this attrition by 30-50% depending on occupational category.
