9 to 5? More like 24/7 for women during COVID. How will this impact their return to the workplace?

Guest: Kana Enomoto, senior expert at McKinsey & Company, national leader in mental health, substance-use policy, data and programs

Recent data released by global management consulting firm McKinsey and Company has shown that COVID-19 has profoundly impacted employees’ well-being. Almost a third of respondents reported having anxiety, while at least 28 per cent experienced burnout. Women, especially racialized women, have been the hardest hit with their participation in the workforce at a historic low. Today on “This Matters,” Kana Enomoto explains what it’s like for working women getting ready to return to the office, carrying all the trauma and exhaustion of the past year and how they will need to be supported by employers.
