Women will be the biggest losers if workers are forced to return to offices five days a week after the pandemic, the boss of insurance giant Aviva has warned.
Chief executive Amanda Blanc said the lockdown had given businesses a chance to reassess working patterns to help women who are saddled with the brunt of childcare and other responsibilities at home.
Aviva has emailed its 16,500 staff to say that it is safe to return to the office if they wish to do so, according to a memo seen by The Mail on Sunday.
But Ms Blanc, who is also the Government s Champion for Women in Finance, warned that ordering employees back to workplaces full-time risks damaging the careers of mothers and puts the female agenda back .

Indigenous children, families and the 2021 federal budget
May 10, 2021
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Canada’s child-welfare system is broken and “will cost billions to fix,” says Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller.
Miller spoke to IndigiNews on April 23 about the federal budget, which was released on April 19.
It’s been more than two years since the federal government released a budget. In the meantime, groundbreaking child-welfare legislation, an Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Metis children, youth and families (also known as Bill C-92), came into force on Jan. 1, 2020.
IndigiNews asked Miller to explain what this budget will do for Indigenous children and families, including whether he believes Canada has committed enough money for the implementation of Bill C-92.

Savers should top up their pension pots later in life once their children have left home, says think tank
The Institute of Fiscal Studies says employee earnings increase over time with age and experience and therefore it makes more sense to increase contributions
It suggested Government revises pension schemes so employee contributions increase with their age and pay rises or when they clear debt such as mortgages
Research said typical graduate with two children should increase contributions from 5% of pay before children leave home to between 15 and 25 per cent after
