Remote Tea: Shifting the way we work, a discussion with Dr. Susan Madsen

The pandemic has had a lasting effect on the way we all work. The shift to remote work had an especially significant impact on women. Does remote work increase the wage gap between men and women? Does it lessen the chances for promotion for women and minorities?

Professor Susan Madsen joins us for this special episode of Remote Tea to discuss the impact COVID-19 had on women in the workforce. She is the Karen Haight Huntsman Endowed Professor of Leadership in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University. She is also the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project, which focuses on strengthening the impact of Utah girls and women through increasing college completion rates and helping girls and women find their voices and become leaders. All leaders and managers should join this discussion because Professor Madsen always has practical knowledge and tips to share.

Join us for Remote Tea, a webinar series for remote leaders, where we will discuss the various aspects of remote work and their effect on leadership styles in today’s workplace.
