The pandemic has exacerbated challenges faced by working parents, particularly straining many working mothers. At the same time, building diverse talent pipelines has taken center stage. In this study, we explore two aspects of organizations and their ability to retain and attract employees.
First, we conducted a pilot study examining whether working mothers, in particular, have their impressions of their employer positively influenced based on whether the CEO is also a working parent. Second, we are examining how organizations can better support working parents in general to build a more diverse and committed workforce.
