During a change management webinar for in-house counsel in August, Accuweather Inc. chief legal officer Jennifer Chung was asked how she thought widespread teleworking amid the novel coronavirus pandemic would affect corporate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.  

“I’m actually a little bit concerned that diversity and inclusion will be impacted in this new world,” she said. “I think as work-from-home becomes sort of the norm … you’re actually going to have companies that are going to be really good at it and that’s where the talent is going to go. And then we’ll start to see almost a polarizing effect.”
