These downturns largely impacted male-dominated industries like construction and manufacturing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now the COVID-19 pandemic\u2019s enforcement of social distancing has had significant repercussions for sectors such as retail and leisure. These sectors, she explained, employ a much higher share of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of finances, Barbara\u2019s research in the UK found that men and women experienced similar levels of earnings losses. Moreover, women with children experienced higher losses than women who did not have children.

Not only will this affect gender equality in the workplace, but it will also have a substantial impact on the economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/2020\/07\/critical-thinking-skills-future-work.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">future of work<\/a>, most of us will likely shift to a more hybrid way of working. For instance, splitting our time between working in an office and from home. It\u2019s hard now to argue that certain jobs can only be done from an office when this has been the case for so many employees over the past year or so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f5353013076&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f5353013076\" class=\"wp-block-image wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/09\/gender-equality-workplace-for-women-two.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Image of Resilience Recast host Nisha Pillai and Pip Marlow, CEO ANZ &amp; ASEAN, Salesforce\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><i>Resilience Recast host Nisha Pillai and Pip Marlow, CEO ANZ &amp; ASEAN, Salesforce<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But will men and women view the future of working arrangements differently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe must establish if there really is a value of being in the workplace and being with your colleagues,\u201d said Barbara. \u201cDoes this really fit in with your career prospects? If one is talking about gender inequalities, it\u2019s really about occupational choice and different rates of promotion and different rates of career progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pip explained how Salesforce is pioneering new, more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/2020\/06\/ohana-at-home-why-salesforce-embraced-remote-working-and-why-you-should-too.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flexible ways of working<\/a> all over the world. Some employees can work from home, while others prefer working part-time office hours. In some cases, employees might only need to visit the office once a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She explained that the company is exploring how to help people do their jobs in different ways. The goal is to create transparency and accountability between teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-need-to-prevent-a-two-speed-workforce\"><b>The need to prevent a two-speed workforce<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many businesses want to provide greater flexibility and gender equality in the workplace. However, there are a few things to be aware of when trying to create an inclusive and flexible work environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pip explained that there is a potential risk of creating a two-speed workforce where women work from home because of childcare and domestic responsibilities, and men work from the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s really important that we don\u2019t fall into a gender-based work model,\u201d Pip explained. \u201cIf what is valued is being at the office, we are going to take what we had before and make it worse. Because suddenly, women will feel the pressure even more to do the unpaid work that is needed and valued at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-quote-article\" style=\"\"><div class=\"wp-block-quote-social-wrapper\"><figure class=\"wp-block-quote-article-quote\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We know that best business performance comes from diverse teams.
