This week we met with Abbey Donnell, the Founder, and CEO of Work & Mother, a network of 'amenitized' full service, fully equipped Mother's Suites that support working moms. Before devoting her work full time to Work & Mother, Abbey spent her career in marketing and brand strategy. Abbey has a BS and BA in Advertising and Spanish Language from the University of Colorado at Boulder, an MBA from Rice University, and is a Certified Lactation Counselor. She is also a working mother herself, with firsthand experience of the challenges that today's working families face.
This is not a podcast just for our female listeners. As we will find out, the lack of amenities in the workspace is something that can affect everyone.
- Today we will discover what problem Work & Mother is solving for
- What legacy Abbey would like to leave for the future workplace
- The legal obligations employers face when supplying amenities for their workforce
