Abstract
The transition to remote and hybrid working has disrupted the workforce worldwide, and certain particulars of the experiences, opportunities, and challenge of women have been altered. The chapter discusses the changing role of women in such workplaces, with issues and inequalities of empowerment. Flexible work enhances work-life balance, career reentry, and access to jobs globally, although women tend to take lower paying jobs to be flexible. However, there are still systemic barriers to go through with, as women and women of color are more exposed to digital exclusion, algorithmic discrimination, and leadership bias. There are also social isolation and cyber incivility even though hybrid format has the potential of minimizing gender disparities in labor hours and raising the position of women. This can result in work pressure since telecommuting flexibility can blur professional boundaries. Gender equity and inclusive development can be fuelled by hybrid work, which can be propelled through equitable digital policies, mentorship, and flexibility.
