Inclusive Workplaces For Parents – What’s Needed?
Mar 29, 2023 | 46m
A few years ago, Mary Beth was an SVP in a major bank. Her experience of returning to work after maternity leave and feeling so unsupported inspired her to carve out a new path – working with companies and people leaders to make sure they’re being truly inclusive. You won’t be surprised to learn she thinks most organizations have a long way to go. Join us as Mary Beth whips through the biggest issues she sees and the barriers to overcoming them: the mental load, invisible work and what NOT to do in inclusivity training.
