'Ninety-seven percent of Black knowledge workers are not ready to return to offices. As a result, the home has become a safe space for Black workers in the last year, a refuge from racism, crude jokes, and office politics.'
Pandemic burnout, a collective reassessment about priorities and what matters most, a labor shortage, and more companies calling workers back into the office are some of the reasons behind this trend. In from Future Forum, Black workers reported a 50% increase in their sense of workplace belonging and a 64% increase in their ability to manage stress once they began working from home. The study concluded that flexible work was critical to a feeling of greater inclusion for Black workers.
I’m not surprised that more Black workers want to work remotely in my experience in the mainstream Corporate world. I found it exhausting, culturally. There was a mismatch. Whenever you’re the minority—it’s tiring. I don’t have the same cultural touchpoint as you do. So even though no one is rude, I find myself having to perform in the office, and if I’m working from home, I put on less of a performance, and it’s less tiring.
Not surprising. It’s been months of ‘Emotional Freedom’. Code switching only when required. Being able to avoid micro aggressions etc. No comments about hair. Oh … and having lunch in peace 😁i’m still really fixated on the fact that only 3% of Black people want to return to work in their physical offices. i expected low numbers, but not single digits. this stat says *so much* about what Black people endure at work, all while being expected to perform.
