Women in the Workplace

SHRM Releases Research on 

Women in the Workplace 

In light of International Women's Day and Women's History Month, SHRM collected data on women's experiences in the workplace, including the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on female caregivers.

The survey found that nearly 1/3 of female employed Americans personally know a woman who has voluntarily left the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic due to caregiving responsibilities, and 44 percent of employed Americans agree that being successful in the workplace is more challenging for women with caregiving responsibilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SHRM is working to create workplaces where employees and employers can thrive together. Learn more about SHRM’s advocacy efforts to build equitable and inclusive workplaces.
