Thinking Outside the Box: The Need for More Supportive Workplaces for Parents, A Conversation With MomUp Co-Founder, Michelle Keefe

"The best way for us to create impact is by changing the leadership... if we have more representation in these leadership decision making roles, we could hopefully create cultures that are much more supportive of parents."

My guest this week is Michelle Keefe, CEO and Co-Founder of Mom Up, an organization providing resources to women in the workplace and employers looking to diversify their recruiting efforts.

In this episode, Michelle shares her insights on the importance of creating diverse senior leadership teams in companies, re-entering the workforce, and overcoming challenges faced by employees, particularly parents.

If you are re-entering the workforce after some time away or are a working parent or family provider in any way, this is one episode not to be missed!
