Abstract
The global shift in work dynamics, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has reshaped traditional business structures, with remote work becoming a dominant trend. While flexible work arrangements are often celebrated for enhancing employee autonomy and productivity, they have also introduced new challenges that impact workforce diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Employees, especially in developing economies, struggle with heightened work pressures, blurred work-life boundaries, and increased stress levels, which hinder their overall well-being. These challenges are particularly pronounced among younger professionals who face difficulties in career development, mentorship access, and workplace integration. This chapter critically examines the evolving work and business trends over the years, highlighting the unintended consequences of remote and hybrid work on DEI initiatives. It explores how existing workplace policies may fail to adequately support diverse talent pools, leading to disparities in talent acquisition, retention, and professional growth.
