Women make on average 15% less than men across countries.
As I was pregnant with my second baby and ahead of my mat leave, Allison Venditti and I got to talk on the Belonging Project Podcast.
Allison is the founder of Moms at Work, a Canada-based organisation providing
community, resources and advocacy for working mothers.
In this podcast episode, we talk about:
- the Motherhood Penalty
- the impact of the pandemic on working mums
- what can help prevent gender discrimination in the workplace: universal daycare, pay transparency, actively promoting & supporting men taking parental leave.
I also loved learning about Allison's own journey and how her organisation grew from a Facebook Group to meeting with the Canadian PM and passing legislation.
What a great conversation!!! If you're a working mother, father, or if you have a working mom in your organisation, I urge you to listen to this episode.
