How We Can (Actually) Create Positive Change For Working Moms
Episode description
Mary Beth Ferrante is the Founder and Managing Partner of WRK/360, a platform designed to create workplace cultures that actually care by promoting flexible work, empathetic leadership, and doing away with parental bias. Her work has been featured in Forbes, CNBC, Working Mother, ScaryMommy, and more.
We’re diving into something that is truly near and dear to my heart: affecting positive change for working moms. Mary Beth shares her experience hitting that maternal wall that so many of us have faced and what she is doing now to change the work culture that so often fails working moms.
We’re talking about one of the silver linings of the pandemic (yes, there is one!) and how it really shed a new light on the issues that working moms face. Mary Beth also shares what she sees as the actionable steps that can make it better, how companies can better support working women, and why we need to stop being afraid to parent out loud and demand more equity in the workplace - regardless of our parental responsibilities.
