are often the primary caregivers at home the burden is greater. so they turn to their company's flex time for help they say are career setbacks. harvard professor robin eli co-authored the study. robin, good morning. >> good morning. >> what led you to conduct the study? >> well we were actually invited by the firm to help them understand why they were having difficulty advancing women into their partnership. and so they thought it may have something to do with their culture. ways that they were inadvertently blocking women. so they asked us to come in and study the culture which we did. one of the things that we found was that when we asked people what do you think is the reason for women's advancement, most people gave some version of the work/family that you just did. what the prior demand 24/7 availability, and that women, but not men, are unable to meet
8:33 am
that demand. and that's why they're not advancing. >> what did you find? >> well what we found was something a little different from that. first of all, we found that men were as likely as women to be suffering from the working family. and we also found that people were -- some people working a lot of hours, but they weren't necessarily necessarily productive hours. that's why we call it a culture of overwork. there were a lot in the firm and i don't think firm for example, to be available 24/7 for a clients. to produce an absolutely perfect work product when the client doesn't need perfection. >> what did the firm do with the results that you discovered? >> well they had a hard time taking it in. they thought maybe we hadn't talked to the right people. maybe we hadn't collected enough data. and they really had a hard time
8:34 am
hearing it. and i think that's that's really just further evidence of how deeply rooted the belief is that we need to work these hours in order to be productive. and that women are the ones and not men who are unable to meet that demand. they were really looking to us for a solution that would address the women problem, that would really address something that was specifically up for women. and we said, no actually the issue seems to be much broader. it seems to be an issue of overwork. and you that really need to change the way you work. be more efficient. recognize that men are also having these struggles. and -- >> why do you think the focus is on productivity? if you talk to a lot of moms they say they'll get feedback when they try for promotions well, you're not here as long and you usually leave a certain hour because you're a mom. moms react that way of i thought
8:35 am
i was judged on my productivity and the way i'm doing my job. why does that bias them? >> well i think there's still a strong belief that face time is important. that if you look like you're working and available 24/7 that you are a really committed worker. that you're devoted to work. >> well how does that change that? it doesn't seem like there's a solution here. >> the question is flex time whatever you define as flex time? >> the flex time in the study said it hurts women, they ask for flex time and they get judged even broader, right? >> well the problem with flex time, it is primarily women who use flex time. men deal with the problem differently. they either suffer in silence or they do these work arounds. another one found by my colleague erin reed some of the
