Director of the King's Global Institute for Women's Leadership, King's College London

Professor Heejung Chung is Professor of Work and Employment at King’s College London, Director of the King's Global Institute for Women's Leadership, and the author of the book The Flexibility Paradox: why flexible working leads to (self-) exploitation.
Her research area is comparative labour market studies focusing mostly on work-family research, gender and other social inequalities, workers’ work-life balance and well-being outcomes. She is currently working on flexible working/remote and hybrid working, how it is stigmatised by managers and co-workers, how marginalised workers (women/BAME workers) may experience this differently, how this relates to our notions of the ideal worker, and policy solutions to tackle this bias.
