Insights from a peer-exchange forum hosted by The Conference Board of Asia & NielsenIQ.

While challenges for working women during the pandemic have been many, the opportunities far outweigh these if companies take the right actions in a timely manner. Being aware of these hurdles, and moving swiftly to drive changes, will contribute to successful outcomes.

Insights for What's Ahead

Culture and mindset shifts are critical: The impact of the pandemic on women employees will require a holistic, integrated effort at corporate and government fronts.

Psychological safety is key: Create safe environments for healthy and meaningful dialogue between employees.

Enlist male champions: Male allies and champions are needed at all levels to garner support for remote work policies.

One size doesn’t fit all: Build guidelines and empower management at every stage. Create bespoke guidelines for middle and line managers to ensure good practices.
