Not seen the actual report itself but a solution other than racism does suggest itself:
Stopping people from working from home can be racist because bosses have unconscious prejudices against non-white employees, a study has suggested.
Black and Chinese men are significantly less likely to work from home (WFH) compared to white counterparts, according to a new paper published in the Industrial Relations Journal. Chinese women were also significantly less likely to work from home than white women.
The disparities reflected “structural biases” in British workplaces, academics said. Black and minority ethnic (BME) workers in the UK are “generally discriminated against” in hiring and promotion processes because of biases against their capabilities, the report said.
Perhaps the segregation is in the tyope of work done across the groupings. Meaning that some groups are more likely to be in owrk that simply cannot be done from home?
You know, maybe?
