By altering attitudes toward working from home (WFH), COVID-19 may have forever changed the way we work. According to a new MIT\u00a0study<\/a>, half of those who were employed before the pandemic are now working remotely. As company executives see for themselves that excellent work can be\u00a0achieved, and productivity<\/a>\u00a0heightened, even in jobs that no one imagined could be done virtually, a growing\u00a0number of companies<\/a>, including Facebook and Twitter, are announcing that they will allow employees to work remotely on a permanent basis.<\/p>

It\u2019s tempting to think that such flexible work options will be a big equalizer for women. Many are daring to hope that by removing the stigma attached to WFH, and by cutting commuting time and the insidious \u201cface time\u201d norms that can add hours to the workday, women can maintain full-time jobs and avoid losing traction in their careers during their caregiving years. There is some evidence on which to base this dream of a better future \u2014\u00a0studies<\/a>\u00a0have shown that flexibility allows mothers to maintain their working hours after childbirth and to stay in relatively stressful yet well-paying occupations through times of high family demand. But before we declare victory, we need to consider three potential trip wires.<\/p>
