This will be particularly true for fields like the life sciences, where women graduate at higher rates than men. I believe we will see more women (re)entering STEM fields in 2023, reclaiming a good share of the jobs they lost during the pandemic. Women will reclaim a good share of STEM jobs. Ultimately, approaching working styles with flexibility, nuance and a true understanding of productivity will see businesses win more than their fair share of talent. A report by HR platform Eden found that 63% of tech employees say the option to work remotely is very important, so much so that not having the ability would be a deal breaker.

In a more uncertain economic climate, organizations that feel in-office work is the best way to monitor productivity may have more sway to demand it. LinkedIn’s October 2022 Global Talent Trends report revealed that remote roles fell to 14% of all job postings in September, from an all-time high of 20%, but attracted 52% of all U.S. The pandemic accelerated the rise of flexible and remote work, but it appears the tide may be turning-despite worker preference for remote roles. Returns to the office will ramp up as the focus on productivity increases.
