According to Gallup, the workforce has lost 2 million female employees over the course of the pandemic. While all people who work and take care of dependent family members at home, could use added support in the workplace, based on recent polls, working moms seem to be taking the brunt of the load during this shift.
This has caused many women to leave their jobs to devote more time to their roles as caretakers. Research also shows that mother’s in are valuable because they bring skills in leadership and office dynamics that better the work environment. As the trend of caretakers, most notably, mothers, leaving the workforce has been noticed, many are stepping up to help employers develop skills to improve working conditions to keep these valuable employees.
In our last episode, we explored employer and employee relationships and realized that this topic is so big it needed two parts! If you haven’t listened to episode 8 with NFCC’s Executive Director, Mary Elizabeth Hand, be sure to listen to that one too, as we’ll build upon that conversation and discuss more ways to improve interoffice dynamics and better support our most stretched employees with today’s guest, Claire Holmes.
