JFF’s Cat Ward in “Don’t Let Hybrid Work Stymie Internal Mobility and Employee Advancement”

Remote and hybrid work have become the norm for millions of workers, but the advantages of the digital-first workplace are not being felt equally.

To ensure equitable access to the many benefits of remote work, Impact Employers are rethinking traditional systems and developing inclusive talent practices designed to meet the nuanced needs of all employees.

In an article she wrote for Talent Management, JFFLabs Managing Director Cat Ward discusses the unique challenges of remote work, including barriers to crucial mentoring and networking opportunities and notable declines in employees’ mental health. She also highlights the work of companies like Microsoft and Unilever, whose flexible, people-centered practices put workers first and focus on supporting employee well-being and fostering a sense of belonging in the workplace.
