Listen "The "Zoom Ceiling""
Episode Synopsis
Many workplaces have decided to go hybrid since the pandemic… but in doing so have unveiled an entirely new glass ceiling for those choosing to work from home.
In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, we’re going to talk about presenteeism and the bias toward proximity that leaves remote employees at a serious disadvantage for receiving promotions and bonuses.
You will learn:
What the ‘Zoom ceiling’ is and who’s most affected by it
Why it can jeopardize your diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts
How you as a leader can mitigate the negative effects of remote work
