November 10, 2025·25 min·2 clips

Amanda reveals how the reduction of remote work is causing women to leave corporate jobs at alarming rates.

The episode begins with Carol Gilberti introducing the topic of reduced remote work for women and its consequences. Amanda, a guest, provides data indicating that women are leaving corporate jobs at higher rates when remote work flexibility is removed, due to their ongoing overload in care responsibilities. She mentions research, including from Robert, showing that work-life balance improves professional performance. Amanda explains that this turnover harms companies through increased costs and damaged reputation, especially regarding ESG metrics. She notes that retaining talent is a major corporate concern, requiring action-focused plans for women and mothers. Amanda cites a study where 42% of decision-makers believe the situation for working mothers is improving, attributing this to younger generations demanding better balance. She describes practical corporate measures like hybrid models, flexible hours, structured maternity return programs, and leadership training for empathy. The discussion turns to paternity leave extension as a strategy to share family responsibilities. Carol expresses anguish that flexibility discussions always target women, questioning why corporate culture doesn't equally involve fathers. She highlights cultural barriers where men often take only 10% of childcare responsibility. Amanda agrees but admits that shared parental responsibility is not a priority agenda in corporate projects for 2025-2026, partly due to cost differences between maternity and paternity leave. She emphasizes the role of individuals and leaders in normalizing these discussions within their micro-societies. Carol reflects on broader societal challenges, including conservative movements that believe women belong only at home, and fears regression in women's rights. She notes the slow pace of progress, feeling that society takes steps backward more often than forward. The episode concludes with a call for continued provocation and vigilance across generations to ensure a better professional environment with diversity and comfort for all.
