The shutdown that followed the COVID-19 pandemic ironically forced many companies forward when it came to technology and innovation, and the shift appears to be a permanent – and positive – one, especially for women.
“Companies are recognizing if people are getting their work done, it doesn’t matter where they are or how they’re doing it,” said Yosha DeLong (pictured), senior vice president, global head of cyber at Mosaic Insurance and a speaker at the Women In Insurance Chicago event. “It really opened up an opportunity to get creative with the way we work in general, but people also realized there’s this talent pool out there, a lot of women, and we can be flexible with them through technology because they’re good at their job and we need them in the workplace.”
