Sarah Wells, CEO of Sarah Wells Breast Pump Bags, a multimillion-dollar company empowering working moms, gives managers an inside look at what mothers really want from their leaders. There’s a pervasive problem across workplaces big and small- Managers aren’t asking new mothers what support they need to transition back to work successfully. At the same time, working mums are afraid to ask for help-resulting in poor employment outcomes for both parties. The solution? Intentional and open conversation, which has to start at the managerial level. Investing in working mothers is more than just a powerful retention strategy; it’s an investment in your entire organization’s success. Now more than ever, we cannot afford to lose these highly valuable employees and, equipped with the right tools, we won’t have to.
