8 September2022When flexible work schedules first became available in the workplace, many people believed it was a match made in heaven for working moms--and to be honest, they were right. After all, flexibility gave working women who had previously struggled to balance work and family life a sense of relief. According to studies, men are more ambitious when it comes to ascending the corporate ladder, but women tend to stay still beyond a certain point in their careers. The reason for this is familial responsibilities. Working women, especially mothers are worried that advancing in their careers will entail more time spent in the office, and many are unwilling to make that sacrifice. Having a flexible schedule allows women to advance in their careers without having to sacrifice time with their family.LinkedIn, the online professional network, issued its latest consumer research report, which highlights the problems that women face at work.
