Canada’s Return to Office Mandates Reduce Flexibility and Disproportionately Affect Women
Return-to-office mandates remove pandemic-era flexibility, causing women to reduce hours or leave jobs, with a 2024 study showing teleworkers gained an hour daily without commuting.
- The Canadian Press reported public and private organizations across Canada are reducing flexible work through return-to-office mandates, including some large firms shifting to four-day in-office weeks.
- Nora Jenkins Townson, founder and CEO of Bright + Early, said women still carry disproportionate child, elder and household duties, and removing flexibility forces many to scale back hours or leave leadership roles.
- Statistics Canada found teleworkers in 2022 saved over an hour daily by avoiding commutes and increased housework for both men and women while working from home.
