Crafting Hybrid Work Plans? Pay Attention to Equity
If you’re involved in developing your company’s hybrid work plans, it’s critical to ensure you don’t unintentionally create or exacerbate inequities. Put systems in place to monitor who gets promoted and why.
Look out for patterns that suggest favoritism of one group over another — for example, those who work in the office compared to those who work remotely — and remedy any inequities. This isn’t just about promotions: Conduct a regular audit of who gets which assignments and why — and commit to publicly sharing the results. This will not only help identify any concerns, it will also draw attention to the fact that this monitoring is happening and therefore encourage managers to pay careful attention to their allocations.
This tip is adapted from “5 Practices to Make Your Hybrid Workplace Inclusive,” by Grace Lordan et al.
