FAST COMPANY – Remote workplaces may find it easier to hire a diverse range of people, but remote meetings fall short in inclusivity. An analysis of 200 hours of meeting data, split evenly between in-person and remote settings, reveals that as meeting size increases, participation rates drop, with remote meetings showing a significantly lower participation rate than in-person ones. In meetings with nine to ten attendees, only 55% of participants in in-person meetings contribute, compared to just a third in remote meetings. This trend worsens for women; their participation rates decline faster in remote settings than in in-person ones. For example, in remote meetings with ten attendees, 30% fewer women participate compared to men, whereas the gap is only 12% in in-person meetings.

FORTUNE – CEOs should separate their company’s core values from political ideologies to maintain a non-partisan stance during election years. Focusing on values that align with the company’s mission ensures consistent decision-making and communication. Transparent communication about the company’s position on issues relevant to its business is crucial, while avoiding endorsements of specific political parties or candidates. Encouraging open dialogue within the organization fosters a respectful and inclusive work environment, helping to minimize division and maintain unity. This approach allows CEOs to navigate political landscapes without compromising the company’s integrity and cohesion.
