Critique Your Company's Remote Work Policy for Equity Gaps
Your remote work policy looks fair on paper, but the people in the office get seen, get the chats, get the promotions, and the remote crowd quietly fall behind.

Built for an HR leader sanity-checking before it reaches the leadership team.

Note the equity implication. **Inclusion provisions** 4.
