The widespread shift to remote work, due to the pandemic, is here to stay, many companies are implementing a hybrid model (partly remote, partly at the office). With the project we want to decrease gender gap and prevent burnout in organizations by identifying difficulties for women working remotely.

During the implementation phase, we will gather women’s stories and understand their challenges in order to create training material for HR managers, managers and leaders so that we can be a part of preventing burnout among employees working remotely and social exclusion of women in the workplace leading to an increased inequality.

  • To define difficulties encountered by women working remotely, by creating hands-on material and trainings for managers, improving accessibility and increasing take-up of adult education;
  • To develop and create awareness about the risk of social exclusion of women in workplaces;
  • To define the difficulties for women working remote and the skills needed to prevent burnout and social exclusion;
  • To train managers with the skills they need to be able to support their employees working remotely, providing them with guidelines and a training program.
  • Identification of challenges that women experience working remote, based on desk research, questionnaires and surveys;
  • Working with managers, HR managers, coaches and leaders to identify challenges that they might experience and providing them with resources to meet the needs of women working remotely, in order to prevent burnout;
  • Creation of a program to train the trainers, addressed to managers, HR managers, leaders and coaches, based on the material gathered during previous activities.
