Don’t Let the Pandemic Take Away Your Right to Work

THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE

And How We Can Help

We’ve all felt the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. From canceled events to modified work practices, everyone has made sacrifices for their health, their families, and their livelihoods. But, according to a study by Lean In, a global organization dedicated to furthering leadership positions held by women, and McKinsey and Company researchers, women are making a greater sacrifice during this pandemic.

The report also found that Black women reported less manager interaction or assistance to ensure their needs were met during the pandemic. What’s more, the study found that for every 100 men promoted to management positions, only 85 women are also promoted to those positions. That number decreases to 58 for Black women and 71 for Latinas. While these statistics are alarming, they do not have to encompass your reality. At Cronin Law Firm, our team is dedicated to helping parents create post-divorce co-parenting plans that allow both parents to care for their children and pursue their professional goals. If you believe your co-parenting plan needs to be reevaluated or updated to better respond to COVID-19, future pandemics, or our new reality, please contact our team today. We can help you ensure that the sacrifices you make for your children, do not limit your opportunities in the workforce.
