E-work came to the fore as a strong equalizer when women started participating increasingly in this work environment due to the dismantling of geographical barriers and the absence of their physical presence in the workplace. In post-COVID workplaces, the participation of employees in duties and the distribution of duties among employees reappeared. The main objective of this study is to examine the status quo of the modern workplace from the workforce's point of view in terms of gender equality. The authors analysed the gender imbalances in e-work environments in Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. A quantitative analysis based on primary data obtained through a Microsoft Forms Survey was carried out in this study. In consequence, the following research question was explored: Can e-work lower gender imbalances? Six hypotheses were formulated, and three (H1, H2 and H4) were confirmed. It was found that the e-workforce does not take gender into account, and this view is held significantly more often by men, by employees aged 2227 and by employees from Austria. It is held in terms of fair play in being in the remote work environment and that it is the quality of the work that matters. Females agree significantly more often with the statement that the modern work environment entails an equal call for all genders. Work has changed in many ways, but gender imbalance persists. Serious nation-tonation differences in gender imbalances, including in e-work environments, persist globally, with some countries, in our study Austria, making notable improvement, while, as our study shows, others, like the Czech Republic and Slovakia, lag behind. But full gender parity has not been reached yet.
