Are women more likely to experience burnout during the pandemic? Are the traditional gender roles in the home causing women to burn the candle at both ends and the middle?
The pandemic has left many working women frustrated and burned out. Some are ready to say goodbye to their employers. Working women are painfully aware of the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, whether they've lost hours or wages, added homeschooling and childcare duties to their plates, or work jobs on the frontlines that carry greater Covid-19 exposure risks. A recent poll indicates their experiences during this time might lead some women to say goodbye to their current employers. Working women are twice as likely as their male peers to express interest in leaving their employer within a year due to a negative work experience during the pandemic, WerkLabs, the insights arm of The Mom Project, found after surveying about 2,000 U.S. workers. Women are two times more likely than men to report willingness to leave their current employer in the next five years. Close to 40% of respondents said their work and well-being have been affected by the pandemic, per a news release from The Mom Project. When asked about workplace satisfaction during the pandemic, women scored an average of 15 points lower than men. Women's scores on their experiences with organizational leadership during the pandemic were 33% lower than men's, and women's scores on socio-emotional well-being measures like social connectedness were about 20% lower than men's, per WerkLabs. Women also rated their expected productivity over the next year 29% lower than men rated their own anticipated productivity. A recent British study found mothers' working hours are interrupted by children more often than fathers', and the burden is straining working mothers' well-being.
