Entrepreneur Explains How the Pandemic Has Affected Women in the Workplace

The culmination of extensive research done on the COVID-19 virus and the current availability of vaccines has allowed many organizations to begin their transition planning back into an office or central working environment.

While many companies are deciding on if they will include remote or hybrid working options, the overall effects of the pandemic are still present, and implications could remain for years to come. Many women voluntarily or involuntarily left the workforce completely, and others were forced to juggle intense stress from work, family and childcare demands.

BioSpace recently interviewed Elizabeth Elting, founder and CEO of the Elizabeth Elting Foundation, to discuss her thoughts on how the pandemic has affected women in the workforce. She was able to share her perspective as the founder and former co-CEO of TransPerfect, along with her predictions based on recent trends.
