is one of the top three things they consider when deciding whether to join or stay with a company, compared to 34% of men leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Women leaders are more than 1.5x as likely as

important to young women, who play a critical role in building diverse and inclusive teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Younger women are more likely than female executives to report that

are top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies that don&#8217;t take action may find it difficult to attract and keep the next generation of women leaders, which has particularly worrying implications for organizations that already have a &#8220;broken rung&#8221; in their leadership pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fact also is revealed in many other local surveys, such as <a

Based on 1,000 Singapore local respondents,&nbsp;<strong>more than 40%<\/strong>&nbsp;of people said they would not accept a job offer if they couldn\u2019t work from home or didn\u2019t have flexible work hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hybrid_working_empowers_female_workers\"><\/span>Hybrid working empowers female workers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/blog\/2022\/10\/26\/hybrid-working-empowers-female-workers-now-according-to-singapore-president\/\">In a&nbsp;conversation with NTUC Women\u2019s Committee leaders at the presidential palace<\/a>, President Halimah Jacob said that the&nbsp;<strong>practice of flexible working has helped women stay in the workforce and solve the restrictions<em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Singapore, female employees need to respond to more work, for example, they need to take care of their children and elderly family members after work, and those actions will increase stress in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>tremendous pressure<\/strong>&nbsp;will<strong>&nbsp;make them less satisfied, leading to a decrease in work efficiency, and eventually, they may even quit<\/strong>.&nbsp;Hybrid working can help to provide enough flexibility and autonomy for females to choose the right place and time to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McKinsey and Lean In\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/womenintheworkplace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">report<\/a> also shows that remote work options are especially critical for women with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since having<strong> greater control over your work environment <\/strong>makes it simpler to manage mobility challenges, chronic pain, and mental health conditions, working from home can make disabled women healthier and more productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, having the opportunity to work remotely makes disabled women feel more appreciated and supported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are <strong>less likely to encounter particular microaggressions<\/strong>, such as receiving unfavorable remarks about their appearance or having coworkers openly doubt their credentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are also more likely to<strong> claim that their management has faith in them<\/strong> to complete their work and that they feel at ease discussing their difficulties with coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I don\u2019t think I could work full-time if I was required to be in the office.
