Brigid Schulte, director of the Better Life Lab and The Good Life Initiative at New America, said that in the 1990s and early 2000s, flexibility was seen as an accommodation for women, mothers and caregivers — a viewpoint that still exists today.
“That’s led to a real sense of stigma around flexibility — that lesser workers will take it, or that somehow flexibility means less work or that you’re less committed,” she said.
Fortunately, the tides are changing as others start advocating for flexible work options.
“Millennials — both men and women — [are] saying that they want to have full, meaningful lives and full, meaningful careers and being adamant about getting them,” Schulte said.
